EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF LASER TREATMENT OF HYPERMETROPIA IN ADOLESCENT CHILDREN

Abstract

Patients with hypermetric refraction have difficulties at all stages of their management: from the moment of correct assessment of refraction, determining the possibility of performing CR and choosing the optimal technology, planning correction parameters, technical aspects of its implementation to the long-term observation period, accompanied by a higher risk of regression of the achieved refractive result [1]. The widespread use of refractive surgery in children is associated with the presence of concomitant conditions such as anisometropia, amblyopia, high degrees of astigmatism with the impossibility of spectacle correction. But patients with hypermetropia without the above concomitant conditions, as a rule, are still operated on after the age of 18 years. A special place in this group is occupied by patients who did not use glasses correction until adolescence for various reasons - reluctance to wear glasses, previously unidentified hypermetropia. And with age, their need for higher visual acuity increases [2].
