[Homoplastic keratomileusis for aphakic eyes with corneal leucoma].
We performed homoplastic keratomileusis on 6 aphakic eyes with central corneal leucoma. The results showed that the post-operative corrected visual acuities were markedly increased to 0.3-0.5 in 3 cases and to 0.1-0.2 in another 3 cases. Since such patients were neither indicated to undergo intraocular lens implantation or penetrating keratoplasty for various reasons nor indicated for epikeratoplasty, homoplastic keratomileusis can be chosen for them.
