Abstract:
Epikeratophakia is a safe and valid surgical alternative for the correction of aphakia if spectacles or contact lenses are not tolerated and if ocular lens implantation is contraindicated. This report reviews our experience with 36 epikeratophakia procedures using lyophilized lenticules, with a mean follow-up of 19 months.
