Radial keratotomy for myopia - series
Procedure

While you are awake and pain-free (using local anesthesia), a series of delicate incisions are made around the cornea. This flattens the center of the cornea in order to change the focus of light rays on the retina. Each eye is operated on separately, and on different days.
