Abstract

Purpose: To design a mold for processing optical power in epikeratophakia.

Method: 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.

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