Question
- which of the following is a procedure to correct myopia?
radial keratotomy
cornea transplantation
keratoplasty
laser iridotomy
Brief Explanations
Myopia (nearsightedness) occurs when the cornea is too curved or the eye is too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina. Radial keratotomy is a surgical procedure that involves making radial incisions in the cornea to flatten it, which corrects myopia. Cornea transplantation (keratoplasty) treats corneal diseases/injuries, not refractive errors like myopia. Laser iridotomy is for angle-closure glaucoma, not myopia.
