Limbal relaxing incisions for correcting astigmatism in patients undergoing cataract surgery
Record ID 32011001327
English
Authors' recommendations:
Limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs) are arc-shaped, partial-thickness incisions made in the cornea just inside the limbus (the marginal region of the cornea) to create a more spherically shaped cornea by virtue of a small gaping effect. LRIs can be placed during cataract surgery to correct preexisting astigmatism.
