title: The surgical management of overcorrection in myopic epikeratophakia.
abstract: Three patients underwent myopic epikeratophakia that resulted in overcorrection. The surgical management of these cases involved resuturing the myopic lenticule to flatten the peripheral curvature and reduce the amount of minus power. A reduction in the overcorrection was achieved in all cases.
