[The experience of the surgical treatment of astigmatism].

The paper analyses results after 133 operations on occasion of a simple, mixed and compound astigmatism; 4 methods of surgical correction were used: longitudinal, tangential, radial and combined. The analysis has shown that corneal astigmatism of different kinds and degrees can be corrected by different methods of anterior keratotomy. As a result of surgical treatment, the degree of refraction of both spherical and cylindrical, reduced and visual acuity with tolerant correction increased.

[The laser surgery of cystic filtration pads].

The paper describes results after treatment of 12 patients with cystic filtration cushions formed after antiglaucomatous operations. Two methods were used: introduction, into the cystic filtration cavity, of either autologous blood or serum of autologous blood stained by sodium fluorescein solution with subsequent coagulation by argon laser radiation, energy 0.2-0.

[The efficacy of optimized sinusotrabeculectomy in primary open-angle glaucoma based on the late results data].

In 210 patients (210 eyes) with open-angle glaucoma, remote results (3 years) after sinusotrabeculectomy in Cairns-Krasnov's modification were compared with those after optimised performance of main surgical stages. Separation of a scleral flap at the depth of 350-400 mcm, localization of the drainage system by a developed microdiaphanoscopic method and subsequent removal of a fragment of the Schlemm canal and trabeculae provide a more stable hypotensive effect and preserve visual functions as compared with results of traditional methods. High effectiveness of the method is connected with avoiding of such variants of the surgical technique that can lead to development of complications.

[The morphological changes in the eye tissues of rabbits in transconjunctival-scleral cyclocoagulation by the radiation of a krypton laser operating continuously].

The paper describes a morphologic picture of changes in eye tissues of rabbits in transconjunctival scleral action on the ciliary body by means of krypton laser (wavelength--647.1 nm) working in a continuous regime. The applications were located 1.
