Abstract
The vulnerability of the ocular coat to trauma following radial keratotomy is an issue of concern to both patients and physicians. Herein, we report two cases of eyes which were exposed to severe trauma after previously undergoing radial keratotomy procedures. In the first case, a woman sustained multiple facial bone fractures in a fatal airplane crash. In the second case, a man was involved in a case of blunt ocular trauma involving a high velocity racquetball. Rupture of the ocular coat did not occur in either case.
