Surkova V.K., Iskhakova A.H. THE INTRASTROMAL CORNEAL SEGMENTS KERARING IMPLANTATION IN CORRECTION RESIDUAL AMETROPIA AFTER EPIKERATOPLASTY BY KERATOKONUSThe intrastromal corneal segments Keraring were implanted for correction of residual ametropia after epikeratoplasty to 8 patients (8 eyes). As a result, the value of corneal astigmatism decreased from -10,83±0,79 D to -3,45±0,89 D, the refractive power of the cornea — from 53,16±0,73 D to 45,45±1,39 D; visual acuity improved from 0,07±0,02 to 0,45±0,05. The intrastromal corneal segments implantation is an effective way for the correction of residual ametropia after epikeratoplasty.Key words: keratoconus, intrastromal segments epikeratoplasty, correction of corneal astigmatism.
