[Method of designing a mold for processing corneal lenticules in epikeratophakia with excimer laser].
OBJECTIVE
To design a mold for processing optical power in epikeratophakia.


METHODS
With excimer laser a corneal graft with appropriate optical power shall be got on the formula of the mold's radius curvature.


RESULTS
Based upon the formula from the data, a 12D mold was accomplished to obtain a suitable cornea lens for epikeratophakia.


CONCLUSIONS
The 12D mold presents the value to some extent in processing the desired optical power of corneal graft for those patients requiring epikeratophakia.
