Citation Limbal relaxing incisions for correcting astigmatism in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Lansdale: HAYES, Inc.. Directory Publication. 2011 Authors' conclusions Limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs) are arc-shaped, partial-thickness incisions made in the cornea just inside the limbus (the marginal region of the cornea) to create a more spherically shaped cornea by virtue of a small gaping effect. LRIs can be placed during cataract surgery to correct preexisting astigmatism.
