RK was very popular once,now it called as barberic prosedure.still in india becose of financial problems and unavailability of Eximer machines many surgeons use it as treatment of choice in low myopia,even it is noticed that some very famouse surgeon had practised RK in minor aged myopes which is quite contraindicated in refractive surgery.lots of cases also reported done RK in high myopia like say -10 to -15 diopters...!!!!!but now sinario is changing in india also with all sophisticated new machines.

An eye surgeon commented on the precision that must be made during the surgery as such; "Imagine a layer of ten wet paper tissues. That's the depth of the cornea. Now, cut through nine of those layers without scratching the last one." Edwardian 06:16, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
