Коррекция рефракционных нарушений при хирургическом лечении кератоконуса методом имплантации MyoRing

Abstract

Keratoconus is a progressive degenerative disease in which, due to the weakening of the biomechanical strength of the cornea, its cone-shaped deformation occurs, leading to the development of induced myopia and astigmatism, as well as to a decrease in corrected visual acuity. Treatment of this disease consists in achieving stabilization of the process by strengthening the structure of the cornea, as well as in correcting refractive disorders caused by corneal deformation. Purpose. The purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of correction of refractive disorders by implanting a closed MyoRing ring in the corneal stroma of patients with keratoconus. Material and methods. The data of 98 MyoRing implantation operations using CISIS technology using the PoketMaker ultraceratom for stage 3-4 keratoconus were analyzed. The observation period is up to 9 years. The initial myopia averaged -9.23 D ±3.82, astigmatism-6.13 ±2.51. Results. Stabilization of the refractive effect occurred usually within 3-6 months after surgery. On average, the following correction of refractive disorders was achieved: myopia-8.14 D ± 2.67 and astigmatism-4.28 D ± 2.12. Keratometry indicators also in most cases stabilized within 3-6 months after surgery and remained unchanged throughout the entire follow-up period. Conclusions. Implantation of a closed MyoRing ring in keratoconus makes it possible to significantly correct refractive disorders and prevents further progression of the disease. Key words: keratoconus, MyoRing, SISI, ring implantation in keratoconus.
