Keratorefractive surgery has been widely utilized to compensate myopia and astigmatism but complications of the cornea remain underlying concerns. This preliminary animal experiment was conducted and presented to provide a possible alternative to keratorefractive surgery in reducing myopia and astigmatism without surgery on the cornea itself. The insertion of a wire ring under the extraocular rectus muscles can alter the direction of the muscular traction away from the sclera. As such, the cornea would be flattened and the refractive state altered. The results of two rabbits' eyes in this study revealed concurrent increase with the refraction, leading to increased hyperopia in the hyperopic condition of the rabbit eyes (i.e. reduced myopia in myopic eyes). The with-the-rule astigmatism became the against-the-rule astigmatism.
