A study of corneal healing after radial keratotomy was conducted under scanning electron microscopy in 28 papio-papio baboons. The appearance of the incisions after follow-ups ranging from one hour to three and a half years postoperatively permits to emit some hypotheses regarding the precise mechanisms of action of radial keratotomy, as well as those governing any functional or anatomical complications susceptible to occur after the operation.

[Endothelial effects of radial keratotomy in a non-human primate].

The study of the endothelial repercussion of radial keratotomy has been done on 33 corneas of 21 non human primates, using Scanning Electronic Microscope. Various lesions has been observed; the relationship between these lesions and the surgery parameters have been studied. One can conclude that the lesions are constant; their severity is related to the number and the depth of the incisions; as for their evolution, they do not seem to worsen with time during the experimental study (1 hour to 18 months).
