Abstract
-
Radial keratotomy has not been used to treat keratoconus. A 20-year-old male with keratoconus underwent a radial keratotomy to achieve satisfactory vision. Immediately after the operation visual acuity was improved, but one year later acute hydrops was developed for unknown reasons. Therefore, the authors report it with review of the literatures.
