Abstract

An experimental investigation was carried out to study self-sealing properties of corneal incisions of different profile and length carried out with femtosecond laser Victus (Technolas Perfect Vision/BauschLomb). Using femtosecond laser for this purpose allows creating corneal incisions of high precision and predictability. Reproducibility and standardization of the incision profile and length are an advantage of this technology. Obtained results showed that single-profile incisions are less stable and safe when compared to multi-profile ones. It was noted that incision length increase promotes its self-sealing properties.

Summary

Introduction

G An experimental investigation was carried out to study self-sealing properties of corneal incisions of different profile and length carried out with femtosecond laser Victus (Technolas Perfect Vision/ Bausch&Lomb). Формирование роговичного разреза является одним из важных этапов в хирургии катаракты [6, 8, 10]. Сторонники фемтолазерной хирургии катаракты надеются доказать большую безопасность разрезов, выполненных с помощью лазера. Пока строгих научных доказательств этого потенциального преимущества использования фемтолазера для создания роговичных разрезов в хирургии катаракты получено не было. Цель работы Исследование самогерметизирующих свойств роговичных разрезов различных по профилю и протяжённости, выполненных фемтосекундным лазером Victus (Technolas Perfect Vision/ Bausch&Lomb).
