METHOD FOR PREDICTING ASEPTIC LEUKOMA NECROSIS PROGRESS AFTER THE SECOND STAGE OF KERATOPROSTHETIC REPAIR OPERATION Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves determining total tactile leukoma sensitivity before operation and mean tactile leukoma sensitivity before the second prosthesis-setting operation stage in 17 points by means of esthesiometer under controlled pressure distributed over surface area. The tactile leukoma sensitivity value is calculated from formula of T = (400mg/cm²)/P, where T is the tactile leukoma sensitivity and P is the controllable pressure of 50,100,200 or 400mg/cm² (400mg/cm² being max controllable pressure value). The mean tactile leukoma sensitivity being 2 times and lower before the second prosthesis-setting operation stage when compared to the total one before the operation, aseptic leukoma necrosis progress after the second prosthesis-setting operation stage is predicted. EFFECT: timely detected leukoma surface layer trophic disorder before clinical manifestations being detected. 3 tbl
