Guide. Radial keratotomy (RK) involves making tiny cuts in the cornea, which flatten it and reduce nearsightedness. In people who have both astigmatism and nearsightedness, the surgeon may make additional cuts to flatten the misshapen part of the cornea that is causing the astigmatism.hy It Is Done. Radial keratotomy is an elective procedure that is done to correct nearsightedness in otherwise healthy eyes. Because laser surgeries have become more common than surgeries that involve cutting (incisions), RK is not done very often.
