Limbal Relaxing Incision (LRI)

This procedure can be combined with regular cataract surgery in people with low to moderate astigmatism. It is not an insured service under MCP and patients can billed for it if they request it be done at the time of their cataract surgery.

LRI consist of tiny incisions in the cornea in the corneal segments that are causing the astigmatism. LRI can even be performed after cataract surgery at the slit lamp.
