Epikeratophakia is becoming a significant and worthwhile surgical modality for selected cases of pediatric and adult aphakia, keratoconus, and myopia. Ultimately, it may also provide a safe and effective means of obtaining satisfactory surgical correction when the results from a previous refractive technique are insufficient. We present two successful cases of epikeratophakia following refractive keratoplasty: one following radial keratotomy for myopia and one following penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus.
