The BD Incision Guide sets out one method for the creation of Clear Cornea incisions using the BD Beaver Clear Cornea Incision System as prepared by Robert M. Kershner, MD, FACS, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The information in the BD Incision Guide is provided to you as an objective source of clinical information for your reference.

Astigmatism Correction - Astigmatic Keratotomy

Astigmatic keratotomy (AK) incisions have been used for several years as a means of managing patients with various degrees of astigmatism. However, more recently, the use of more peripheral, limbal relaxing incisions has become the preferred approach. Limbal relaxing incisions provide a lesser degree of correction and therefore, are more forgiving and have greater predictability. Beyond traditional Clear Corneal Cataract surgery, BD products are well suited for use in astigmatic keratotomy. Go to Astigmatism Correction - Astigmatic Keratotomy to learn about the BD products that can be used in creating limbal relaxing incisions.
