Abstract
Relevance of the topic. Cataract is a partial or complete clouding of the eyeball, manifested by a decrease in the light-transmitting properties of optical media and visual acuity. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization for 2021, 65 million people on our planet suffer from cataracts. Cataracts have been found in 15% of the population over 40 years of age and in all older people over 80 years of age. According to epidemiological studies, the growth rate of the incidence of cataracts is almost 2 times faster than the growth rate of the entire population, and in countries with a developed construction industry, this figure is 4-5 times higher. Cataracts are the most common congenital eye disease and the most common cause of blindness. The prevalence of the disease is one of the urgent problems of modern ophthalmology. After cataract extraction, the increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) reaches its maximum level after 7-8 hours, and the level of ophthalmotonus gradually decreases until the end of the day. Often at this time, corneal opacity may develop due to transient ophthalmohypertension, resulting in patients with a "corneal" syndrome. In such cases, it is possible to relatively quickly stabilize intraocular pressure due to preventive antihypertensive therapy with Lacoma-T.
