متن کاملTraumatic aphakia treated with an iris prosthesis/intraocular lens or epikeratophakia.

METHODS Fourteen eyes (14 patients) with traumatic aphakia and severe anterior segment complications were corrected either with epikeratophakia or a sutured ir...
متن کاملExperimental epikeratophakia with biological adhesive.
Successful experimental epikeratophakia grafting was done with the use of a biological adhesive. The use of an adhesive eliminated the need for any suturing of the corneal lenticule to the host cornea, and this method reduced the length of the operative procedure to only one third of the time that is taken when sutures are used.
