Pashtayev N.P., Zotov V.V. LOCAL FEMTOCROSSLINKING VERSUS STANDARD CORNEAL COLLAGEN CROSSLINKING IN THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH PROGRESSIVE KERATOCONUSThere is carried out described comparison and evaluation of clinical and functional results of the local femtoсrosslinking and standard corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) in patients with progressive keratoconus. 50 eyes of 42 patients with progressive keratoconus stage 2–3 (classified Amsler) were included in clinical follow-up, and were divided into 2 groups of 25 eyes undergoing femtocrosslinking and standard CXL. The observation period was 2 years. Local femtoсrosslinking is safer and more effective treatment of progressive keratoconus that improves functional parameters as well as the standard CXL.Key words: cross-linking of corneal collagen, femtosecond laser, femtocrosslinking.
