METHOD OF TREATING POSTOPERATIVE CORNEAL OEDEMA IN AGE-RELATED CATARACT SURGERY Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61F9/01 A61K31/711 A61P27/02 A61N2/02 A61N5/67 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely ophthalmology, and may be used for treating postoperative corneal oedemas in age-related cataract surgery. For this purpose, 0.25% derinate is instilled for 3 times for 1 minute from the first postoperative day. Immediately after the last instillation, the cornea is exposed to a travelling pulse magnetic field generated by the AMO-ATOS apparatus with its radiation head placed at 3 mm from the external cornea. It is combined with the laser light exposure. A laser beam generated by the LAST-01 apparatus is directed through an axial hole in the field radiation head. Radiator frequency is 5-10 Hz; diaphragm position is 4; exposure time is 5 min; the therapeutic course is 2-3 sessions.

EFFECT: method improved the surgical outcomes and reduces the length of treating the gerontological patients suffering the declared pathology ensured by reducing the length of recovering the normal anatomic-physiological and optical corneal state, reducing the rate of chronic bullous keratopathy, recovering developed mechanisms causing energy and metabolic cell reserves.
