ABSTRACT
Transverse incision astigmatic keratotomy procedures were performed, combined with radial keratotomy, in 16 eyes for correction of astigmatism and coexisting myopia. We used a transverse incision technique in which T-incisions vertically intersected radial incisions of the steepest corneal meridian. After a mean follow-up period of 10 months with a range of six to 27 months, an average 1.92 diopters of the cylinder was corrected. In comparison with 2.11 diopters of the cylinder corrected at postoperative one day, there was a 22.8% decrease in the effect of astigmatism correction after a postoperative period averaging 10 months.
