• Wisdom Wednesday •
Have you ever heard of - Superficial Keratectomy (SK)
This procedure is performed at our St. George location by Nicholas Behunin, M.D., our fellowship-trained, board-certified Cornea Specialist.

Procedure Overview:
Superficial keratectomy (SK) is a procedure that removes the most anterior layer of the cornea, known as the epithelial tissue.

How It’s Done:
Using a surgical blade, the surgeon scrapes away the damaged outer layer of the cornea.
A diamond-tip burr may be used to gently clear away the loose or damaged epithelium.

After the Procedure:
Once the cornea is clear, a bandage contact lens is placed for comfort and healing. Patients are then prescribed postoperative antibiotic drops to help prevent infection.

Patients will return for follow-up visits to
ensure the cornea is healing properly

Insurance Coverage: Typically covered by most insurance companies when deemed medically necessary.

Education and awareness is key. Your annual EYE EXAM is necessary in helping reduce the risk of vision loss. Special testing may be involved for a more thorough exam.

👀 EYE EDUCATION
Some of the most common childhood vision problems include:

Farsightedness (Hyperopia): Reading up close may appear blurry.

Nearsightedness (Myopia): Objects at a distance, like the classroom whiteboard, may look unclear.

Astigmatism: Both near and far objects can appear blurry.

School is challenging enough, add vision problems and it can be extremely frustrating for a child. Keeping eye exams a priority gives your child the best chance to succeed.
