Limbal Relaxing Incision (LRI)

Free Refractive Screening During a limbal relaxing procedure the surgeon makes a tiny incision on the limbus, which allows the cornea to become more rounded when it heals. These incisions are also called peripheral corneal relaxing incisions. The procedure can be completed in a few seconds after numbing the eye with anesthetic drops. An LRI is another treatment option for astigmatism.
