Abstract

There is no doubts that problem of keratoconus treatment is high relevant. The number of diagnosed ectasia, including iatrogenic ectasia, increased — in recent years. The amount of post-LASIK and ectasia after RK in late postoperative period multiplies significantly. It is associated not only with inception of new ways of treatment into practice, but also with the upgrade of diagnostic methods and equipment. A new method of local personalized crosslinking (LCXL) was integrated into clinical practice using Laplace’s equation, pachymetry and topography maps data, It exceeds usual Dresden protocol on several parameters. This article shows the reaction of patients’ eyes on the treatment and the effectiveness of technique is provided. Materials and methods: topographic indications were evaluated (Orbscan II (B+L)) of 28 patients (40 eyes) aged 18 — 44 with keratoconus stages I-IV (12 eyes — I stage; 16 eyes — II stage; 9 eyes — III stage; 3 eyes — IV stage classified by Abugova T.D.), as well as UCVA, BCVA for 12 months after surgery. Normal values were estimated by characteristics of 30 eyes without any refractive errors. Results: LCXL is an effective way of treatment of corneal ectasia; it’s more effective in early stages. This technique has a strong controlled refractive impact and allows to reduce inflammatory after procedure.
