Boriskina L.M., Solodkova H.G., Melikhova I.A. MODIFICATION OF CORNEAL COLLAGEN CROSSLINKING IN TREATMENT OF PROGRESSIVE KERATOCONUSThere were studied treatment results in 61 patients with keratoconus of the I–II degree. I group comprised 25 patients (25 eyes), treated by conventional CXL method; II group included 36 persons (36 eyes) who had their surgery performed according to a modified technique. The latter has clinical efficiency and safety which are similar to the corresponding figures of the conventional method, but is distinguished by uncomplicated postsurgical period and a more pronounced positive dynamics in restoration of visual functions, which counts in its favor when choosing method of progressive keratectasia treatment. Key words: сorneal collagen crosslinking.
