[Use of a sclera-fortifying collagen plasty with trophic component in the treatment of high progressive myopia]. / Primenenie skleroukrepliaiushchei kollagenoplastiki s troficheskim komponentom v lechenii progressiruiushchei miopii vysokoi stepeni.

ABSTRACT

A modified scleroplastic operation is suggested, trophic collagenoplasty in which sclera-fortifying collagenoplasty is combined with subtenon implantation of a collagen infusion system. Using this system drugs stimulating trophic processes in the tissues of the posterior segment of the eyeball are infused within 7 to 9 days after surgery. Such operations were carried out in 42 eyes of 22 patients with high progressive myopia (8.0 to 27.0 diopters). The patients' ages varied from 30 to 57. Three months after surgery a manifest improvement of hydro- and hemodynamic parameters of the eyes, as well as of visual acuity with correction, of visual field, and of retinal light discriminating sensitivity were observed in the majority of patients (p < 0.05). The results of pre- and postoperative examinations demonstrate a high efficacy of such operations in patients with high progressive myopia combined with marked dystrophic changes in the tissues of the posterior segment of the eye.
