In the past two years 29 patients (ages 9 months to 15 years) received 37 epikeratophakia grafts. 91.1 percent of the original surgeries were successful. The average change in refractive error was 16.7 diopters, and the average spectacle overcorrection was +0.2 diopters. We have obtained good visual results in our very young patients were follow-up is already over 1 year. We demonstrated also some improvement in visual acuity in older children especially those with traumatic or secondary cataracts. The study demonstrates that we can add an average of +17.1 diopters with an epikeratophakia graft and that the amount of correction obtained is remarkable predicted.
在过去两年中，29例患者（年龄从9个月至15岁）接受了37次表层角膜镜片术移植。最初手术的成功率为91.1%。屈光不正的平均变化为16.7屈光度，平均眼镜过矫为+0.2屈光度。我们对随访已超过1年的非常年幼的患者取得了良好的视觉效果。我们还证明，年龄较大的儿童，尤其是那些患有外伤性或继发性白内障的儿童，视力也有一定改善。该研究表明，通过表层角膜镜片术移植平均可增加+17.1屈光度，且所获得的矫正量可得到显著预测。
