[Technique for laser activation of scleral hydropermeability in the treatment of patients with refractory forms of glaucoma].

Laser cyclodestructive interventions are considered the method of choice in the treatment of refractory glaucoma. However, the traumatic nature of cyclocoagulation makes it necessary to search for more gentle methods of laser treatment. One of the possible directions is the development of laser transscleral technologies that mainly affect the uveoscleral outflow.

[Morphological and functional features of bilateral avascular retinal pigment epithelium detachment (a case report)].

Detachment of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a manifestation of a number of degenerative, vascular, inflammatory processes in the eye. The most common cause of RPE detachment in older individuals is the neovascular form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Only in 10% of cases the detachment is transudative (avascular), characterized by high domed serous RPE detachment.

[Changes in corneal nerve fibers after microinvasive cataract surgery (a preliminary report)].

Introduction: Potential changes in corneal nerve fibers (CNF) induced by cataract phacoemulsification remain insufficiently studied. The need for research in this direction is dictated by a number of circumstances: introduction of corneal confocal microscopy into clinical practice, the need for phaco surgery in the presence of corneal changes of various genesis, the possible negative impact of laser radiation during hybrid (femtosecond laser-assisted) phacoemulsification.

Purpose: To assess the changes in CNF after various methods of microinvasive cataract surgery.

[Morphological and functional condition of the macula after different types of phaco cataract surgeries].

Unlabelled: One of the directions of advancing phaco technology is related to adoption of hybrid phacoemulsification for clinical practice. Potential postsurgical changes in the macular area, when other factors are equal, can be seen as a conditional criterion for the injury rate of phaco surgeries.

Purpose: To evaluate morphological and functional condition of the macular area after different types of phaco cataract surgeries.

[Bandage lamellar-optical keratoplasty for post-excimer laser keratectasia].

Introduction: According to various sources, occurrence rate of keratectasia (KE) after Laser in situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) ranges from 0.04 to 0.2%.
