FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: method involves carrying out laser thermokeratoplasty operation by treating cornea periphery beyond primary laser treatment zone with optical zone diameter equal to 6.5-8.5 mm using laser radiation on yttrium-erbium glass. Wavelength is equal to 1.54 mcm. Pulse power is 160-165 mJ/cm2. Laser spot diameter is 200-300 mcm large.
EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of surgical treatment; minimum invasive interventions; stable refraction effect.
