Case Reports[Traumatic wound dehiscence and corneal rupture 3 1/2 years after radial keratotomy].
Severe complications such as a traumatic wound dehiscence have been described very rarely after radial keratotomy. The following case demonstrates for the first time that wound healing is not completed even 31/2 years postoperatively and that therefore an ocular blunt trauma may still cause a dehiscence of the radial incisions. ⋯ Even several years after surgery, blunt traumas represent a definite risk for eyes undergoing radial keratotomy.
