     Limbal Relaxing Incisions or Arcuate Incisions

   Refractive Surgery Treatment for:

  •    Astigmatism

   Incisions in the cornea are accomplished with a special diamond scalpel where the    blade depth is set by a micrometer as determined by the corneal thickness. These    incisions are placed in the steep or more curved portion of the cornea in order to reduce    the curvature of the cornea and thereby potentially reduce astigmatism. Limbal relaxing   incisions are placed just inside the white portion of the eye (sclera). Arcuate incisions   are placed in  the more central clear portion of the cornea.
