Semenov A.D., Mushkova I.A., Karimova A.N. COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS OF POSTKERATOPLASTY AMETROPY LASER CORRECTION We observed and operated 29 patients with residual ametropy after penetrating keratoplasty: by FemtoLASIK technology — 11 eyes, by standard LASIK technology — 18 eyes. There was received an increase of uncorrected visual acuity from 0,12±0,1 to 0,51±0,23 and from 0,11±0,1 to 0,5±0,24, respectively. Comparative analysis of the results of laser correction showed that corneal flap formed by a femtosecond laser, is more uniformity and less deviation in thickness than a flap formed by microkeratome.Key words: penetrating keratoplasty, induced ametropy, laser correction.
