ABSTRACT
The use of thermokeratoplasty in order to change corneal curvature has been evaluated extensively but has shown limited success due to significant regression of refractive effect. With an improved understanding of corneal response to thermal injury and technological advances that have allowed for better control of thermal injury to the cornea, real-time wavefront-guided thermokeratoplasty may become a safe and effective surgical technique for the management of hyperopia.
