ABSTRACT
After the first description of epikeratoplasty for the correction of aphakia, it has been widely used in high myopia and keratoconus for improvement of visual acuity. Seven epikeratoplasties were performed on five high myopia and two keratoconus patients showing intolerance to eye-glasses and contact lens, with the mean follow-up period of 9.7 months. In high myopia, mean spherical equivalent decreased from -15.90D to -2.05D postoperatively. In keratoconus, mean keratometric value decreased more than 4.94D postoperatively and the progression of disease stopped. All patients showed an imporvement in thei uncorrected visual acuity and best corrected visual acuity. In all cases, reepithelialization completed in 4-23 days (mean 14 days).
