Abstract:
A process for practicing refractive surgery on a patient's eye by grafting a donor cornea shaped into a lenticle to the front of the patient's cornea. The periphery of the donor cornea is chamfered to a bevelled edge and a corresponding slanted peripheral corneal groove is cut into the patient's cornea. The bevelled edges of the lenticle is then inserted into the groove and then sutured to the patient's cornea.
