One hundred and seven patients underwent epikeratophakia for either adult or pediatric aphakia, keratoconus or myopia at the Ohio State University. Minimum follow-up was 3 months. There were four graft removals. Objective postoperative refractions revealed that an average of 70, 72, and 54% of all patients achieved at least 20/40 acuity in adult aphakia, keratoconus and myopia, respectively. In pediatric aphakia, postoperative refraction revealed that an average of 31% of patients achieved at least 20/50 acuity. These results are presented and complications necessitating graft removal are discussed.
