Abstract: A medical device comprising a lens epithelial cell deactivation unit adapted for selectively deactivating lens epithelial cells of an eye.

Abstract: The invention relates to surgical methods for performing eye surgery to correct focusing deficiencies of the cornea. More particularly, the present invention relates to the surgical procedure known as keratophakia, and related surgical methods for performing lamellar keratotomies and refractive surgery. The method is designed to create a flap of epithelium, or stroma and epithelial flap as is done now with Keratophakia but with shapes to aid surgical centration, surgical stability, long-term stability of the lens and maintaining the corrective power. This will enable keratophakia and its advantages of removability and potential reversibility to improve its outcomes to patients.
