abstract: The results of sixteen patients who had undergone ipsilateral rotational autokeratoplasty are presented. Thirteen patients obtained significant visual improvement, and eight patients achieved an acuity of 6/12 or better. There were no significant pre-operative or post-operative complications. The principles of pre-operative assessment and surgery are discussed.
