Abstract

Purpose. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of lamellar keratoplasty in the treatment of recurrent herpetic keratitis with femtosecond laser-assisted corneal surgery. Material and methods. In two clinical cases, lamellar keratoplasty with femtosecond laser-assisted corneal surgery was performed. Preoperative and postoperative visual acuity, refractometry, keratotopography, pachymetry were examined. Conducted courses of conservative treatment: antiviral, anti-inflammatory, desensitization therapy using vaccination «Vitogerpavak». Results. Evidence of the effectiveness of the proposed method was obtained - stabilization and relief of the inflammatory process, increased visual acuity and cosmetic effect. Conclusion. Cases of successful treatment of recurrent herpetic keratitis after intensive courses of conservative treatment followed by lamellar keratoplasty with femtosecond laser-assisted surgery are presented. The use of femtolaser technologies, which allow dosed excision of the affected tissue at a certain depth according to predetermined parameters, contributes to the achievement of high functional results. Lamellar keratoplasty with the maximum possible excision of scar tissue and its replacement with a donor cornea is a minimally invasive effective method to restore the transparency of the cornea after therapeutic treatment of recurrent herpetic keratitis. Key words: keratoplasty, herpetic keratitis, femtosecond laser
