Этот метод был применен для лечения пациентов с буллезной кератопатией и эндотелиальной дистрофией роговицы Фукса с длительным сроком послеоперационного наблюдения. В связи с противоречивыми результатами исследований, отражающими положительную динамику послеоперационного периода, дискутируется вопрос о целесообразности проведения ускоренного коллагенового кросслинкинга у пациентов с этой патологией в качестве монотерапии.</p><p>В исследование были включены 25 пациентов (26 глаз), средний возраст 69,10 ± 10,61 года (от 40 до 82 лет). У 16 пациентов (17 глаз) имелась эндотелиальная дистрофия роговицы Фукса, у 9 пациентов из этих 16 (10 глаз) — II стадии, у 7 пациентов (7 глаз) — III стадии. Буллезная кератопатия присутствовала у 9 пациентов (9 глаз). Всем пациентам было проведено лечение по методике ускоренного коллагенового кросслинкинга роговицы. У больных с буллезной кератопатией (9 глаз) данные центральной толщины роговицы и максимально корригированной остроты зрения не отличались от исходных ни на одном из послеоперационных визитов и не отличались между собой (p &gt; 0,83). Более того, у некоторых пациентов прогрессировал дистрофический процесс в виде появления фиброзных изменений в строме роговицы. Всем пациентам, находящимся под наблюдением после проведения лечения, при разных сроках наблюдения была рекомендована трансплантация роговицы. У пациентов с эндотелиальной дистрофией Фукса достоверное отличие максимально корригированной остроты зрения от исходных данных наблюдалось только через 6 месяцев после операции.</p><p>Целесообразность проведения ускоренного коллагенового кросслинкинга роговицы в качестве монотерапии в лечении пациентов с заболеваниями роговицы, сопровождающимися эндотелиальной декомпенсацией, весьма сомнительна. Перспективным представляется исследование комбинированных хирургических методов лечения этой сложной патологии роговицы с применением кросслинкинга в качестве вспомогательного метода. </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article discusses the effectiveness of accelerated collagen crosslinking in the treatment of patients with corneal diseases, a common basic pathogenetic link of which is endothelial corneal decompensation. This method was used to treat patients with bullous keratopathy and endothelial dystrophy of Fuchs’ cornea with a long postoperative follow-up. In connection with the controversial results of researchers, reflecting the positive dynamics of the postoperative period, the question of the expediency of accelerated collagen cross-linking in patients with this pathology as a monotherapy is discussed.</p><p>The study included 25 patients (26 eyes) with mean age 69.10 ± 10.61 years (40 to 82 years). There was Fuchs corneal endothelial dystrophy in 16 patients (17 eyes), in 9 patients (10 eyes) — stage II, in 7 patients (7 eyes) — stage III. Bullous keratopathy was present in 9 patients (9 eyes). All patients underwent treatment according to the method of accelerated collagen corneal crosslinking. In patients with bullous keratopathy (9 eyes), the data on the central thickness of the cornea and the maximum corrected visual acuity did not differ from the initial data at any of the postoperative visits, and did not differ from each other (p &gt; 0.83). On the contrary, in some patients the dystrophic process progressed in the form of the appearance of fibrotic changes in the stroma of the cornea. Corneal transplantation was recommended to all patients under observation after treatment at different periods of observation. In patients with Fuchs endothelial dystrophy, a significant difference in the maximum corrected visual acuity from the initial data was observed only 6 months after surgery.</p><p>The expediency of accelerated collagen cross-linking in the treatment of patients with corneal diseases accompanied by endothelial decompensation as monotherapy is very doubtful. The study of combined surgical methods for treating this complex corneal pathology using cross-linking as an auxiliary method seems promising. </p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>эндотелиальная дистрофия роговицы Фукса</kwd><kwd>буллезная кератопатия</kwd><kwd>коллагеновый кросслинкинг роговицы</kwd><kwd>ультрафиолетовое излучение</kwd><kwd>фотосенсибилизатор</kwd><kwd>рибофлавин</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy</kwd><kwd>bullous keratopathy</kwd><kwd>corneal collagen crosslinking</kwd><kwd>ultraviolet radiation</kwd><kwd>photosensitizer</kwd><kwd>riboflavin</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Wollensak G., Spoerl E., Seiler T.
