title: [Method of designing a mold for processing corneal lenticules in epikeratophakia with excimer laser].
abstract: 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.
