Abstract

The results of a prospective clinical study of hyperopic epikeratophakia grafts for the visual rehabilitation of aphakic patients are presented. Visual acuity data are given for 21 aphakic patients who have been followed for up to six months postoperatively. With spectacle overrefraction, on the average, patients were within three lines of their preoperative potential vision at three months postoperative and within two lines at six months postoperative. Three months postoperatively, two patients achieved visual acuities of 20/20, and 57% had 20/40 or better with spectacle overcorrection. Six months postoperatively, three patients achieved best-corrected visual acuities of 20/20, and 80% had best-corrected visual acuities of 20/40 or better.
