What Is LRI?

Limbal Relaxing Incision (LRI) is a procedure in which partial thickness incisions are made at the corneal periphery (edge of the cornea) to treat corneal astigmatism. The small incisions “relax” the curvature of the cornea and improve its ability to focus light. The goal of the procedure is to leave the patient with as little astigmatism as possible.

How Does LRI Work?

Depending on the level of your astigmatism, our surgeons will determine the best LRI technique for your particular case. The general steps involved in an LRI procedure are outlined below.

Step 1: Based on extensive pre-operative tests, Dr. Lin “marks” the cornea using a special instrument designed for making orientation marks.

Step 2: Using a specialized instrument, small incisions are made in the cornea to refine its curvature.

Step 3: The eye is covered and protected.

What Are the Benefits of LRI?

LRI optimizes the function of intraocular lenses (IOL) to achieve a wider range of vision correction. It is the preferred method to treat astigmatism in IOL users. The procedure has a proven track record of safety with rare complications.

The visual recovery from an LRI procedure is typically quick, and LRI is a more economical alternative than LASIK to treat astigmatism with effective results.

I had my SMILE eye procedure done at IQ laser vision. The staff there was very friendly and knowledgeable. They made the process very easy by guiding me through every step up to my procedure. I can now perfectly see clearly with my 20/20 vision and no longer need to wear my glasses anymore. If you are planning to get laser surgery. I highly recommend SMILE at IQ laser vision.

The brave step forward has resulted in both of us not needing glasses anymore!

Thank you for the wonderful experience, IQ Laser Vision. Finally, no more worries about falling asleep by accident, and no need to put on contact lenses before applying a face mask. I can even swim without Alan nagging me to change my glasses quickly. But still, thanks to him for helping me with eye drops without complaints this week.

Mrs. Dinco said, “I had LASIK with Dr. Lin in 2018, and as soon as my son turned 18, I brought him here. It is the ultimate trust you can have in a doctor when you bring your child back.”

I’m seeing 20/15!!! It’s the simplest procedure in the world. One of the things that got me really comfortable with getting the surgery done was the doctor told me that it’s basically impossible to go blind. I 100% recommend this place. IQ Laser Vision literally changed my life. I’m as happy as I can be right now.

In short, I don’t like things on my eye or around my eye. I like to play sports, I like to play basketball and I like to record songs. When I record, the headphones push on my face while making the process uncomfortable and hard to see. LASIK has been a great convenience to my life. Thank you Dr. Lin and IQ Laser Vision!
