The authors analyze the possibility of predicting the results of aphakia correction by interlamellar refraction keratoplasty from one of the eye parameters measured before surgery, the anterior corneal surface radius. The prognosis efficacy has improved by 10% vs. the prediction from the mean value; this is insufficient for practical application of the method. The prediction may be made more accurate if the number of the eye parameters measured before surgery is increased and the measurements are more precise.
