Limbal Relaxing Incision (LRI), is performed by making tiny incisions at the edge of the cornea called the corneal limbus. Our surgeon can induce changes in the cornea by adjusting the length, depth, and location of these incisions. The effect of this procedure is to alleviate the corneal astigmatism while keeping the average corneal power untouched. While often used in combination with cataract or clear lens exchange procedures, this procedure can be performed by itself as a means to correct vision in patients with corneal astigmatism.
