Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of epikeratoplasty in a case of traumatic corneal ectasia.
Method: Epikeratoplasty using a manually dissected donor lenticule was used to treat traumatic corneal ectasia after an iron nail injury.
Result: No intra- or postoperative complication was encountered. At the end of 6 months' follow-up, the patient's best corrected visual acuity was 6/12.
Conclusion: Epikeratoplasty is a useful technique to treat traumatic corneal ectasia.
