FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to ophthalmology. Cyclotorsion is controlled during the correction of myopia in combination with astigmatism by the RELEX SMILE method. Marking is applied to the horizontal meridian of the cornea and cyclotorsion compensation is carried out before docking. After marking with curved tweezers, the position of the eyeball is fixed along the limbus and the eyeball is rotated until the horizontal marking is aligned with the sight of the eyepieces. At the same time, they continue to stabilize the position of the eye during the formation of laser cuts.
EFFECT: method provides for the reduction of errors leading to the occurrence of irregular astigmatism, monocular diplopia and a decrease in contrast sensitivity.
