Применение метода акселерированного ультрафиолетового кросслинкинга роговичного коллагена с использованием кастомизированной защитной контактной линзы без ультрафиолетового фильтра у пациента со вторичной кератоэктазией после лазерной коррекции зрения (клинический случай)

Abstract

Purpose. To evaluate the clinical and functional results of the technique of ultraviolet crosslinking on the thin cornea using a customized soft contact lens without an ultraviolet filter in a patient with secondary corneal ectasia. Material and methods. Under observation was patient S., 32 years old, diagnosed with secondary keratoectasia of the left eye after LASIK surgery, performed in 2008 for moderate myopia. To stabilize the keratectatic process, complicated by the presence of a thin cornea with a thickness of less than 400 microns, an operation was performed: ultraviolet crosslinking of corneal collagen using a customized protective lens without an ultraviolet filter. Results. There were no complications during and after the operation. According to keratorefractometry and keratotopography, there was no progression of the disease after surgery, and no loss of endothelial cells was detected. Conclusion. Thus, conducting ultraviolet crosslinking of corneal collagen using a protective customized lens without an ultraviolet filter is a promising technique that allows you to achieve stabilization of the keratectatic process. Key words: corneal ectasia, thin cornea, UV crosslinking, customized lens.
