Can Pressure Sensation In Eyes Be Considered A Side Effect Of Radial Keratotomy Surgery Performed On Both Eyes?
I had RK surgery 28 yrs ago in both eyes. Right eye 16 cuts single depth, left eye 16 cuts single depth, again right eye 16 cuts triple depth and left eye 16 cuts triple depth all within weeks from each other. I now have pressure in eyes of 24 and 26. I have only been to eye doctor three times in 28 yrs. Would RK be causing the pressure in my eyes. I am just learning the side effects of Rk. Did not know all these years there were problems from this surgery until now. I was not told then of the future problems, especially weakening of the cornea
