title: [Epikeratophakia. Apropos of 30 cases].
abstract: We have studied our results of 15 epikeratophakias for aphakia, 13 for myopia, 1 for a keratoconus and 1 for a bullous keratopathy. We have about the same anatomic and functional results as they have in the Nation Wide Study published by Mc Donald in 1987. We have 86% anatomic success and 14% failure for the myopes and the aphakics; 87% of the aphakic patients achieved within 1 or 2 lines of their preoperative corrected visual acuity at one year post-op; 91% of the myopes achieved their corrected visual acuity at three months.
