METHOD FOR DETERMINING DIFFERENTIAL INDICATIONS TO APPLYING LASIK AND Glass-Yb:Er LTK INDEPENDENTLY AND IN COMBINATION WITH EACH OTHER IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS SUFFERING FROM HYPERMETROPIA AND HYPERMETROPIC ASTIGMATISM Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A61F9/08 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves determining eye refraction values like sphere, cylinder and cornea thickness. If sphere does not exceed 2.75 dpt, cylinder does not exceed 1.5 dpt and cornea thickness is not less than 520 mcm in the center, Glass-Yb:Er LTK is considered to be indicated. If sphere does not exceed 4.75 dpt, cylinder does not exceed 2.5 dpt and cornea thickness is not less than 520 mcm, LASIK is considered to be indicated. If sphere exceeds 4.75 dpt, cylinder exceeds 2.5 dpt and cornea thickness is not less than 520 mcm in the center, LASIK combined with Glass-Yb:Er LTK is considered to be indicated.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in achieving normal vision acuity.
