Lapkina I. Efficiency of modified treatment method for complicated myopia cases

Object - the complicated myopia with different stages of chorioretinal changes. Purpose - to increase the efficacy of treatment of patients with complicated myopia. Methods - ophthalmology, the macular edema analysis at the Heildelberg Retina Tomograph II, Ultrasound dopplerography, bulbar conjunctivae vessel microcirculation, rheophthalmography, biochemical, statistical. A new modified technique for treating complicated myopia cases has been proposed, which consists in combined application of ozone therapy and the traditional method. The ozone therapy improves the visual acuity in 12-24%, allows to enlarge the summary visual field borders in 5-3%, to increase the macula re-adaptation time in 42-52%. For the first time it was established that treatment with the ozone therapy improved the bulbar conjunctivae microcirculation in patients with different stages in 240-400%. The new method of treatment was effective in 92% patients with initial stage, in 78% patients with developed stage and in 68% patients with severe stage of the chorioretinal changes. The stability of achieved outcome has been preserved in 89% of patients with initial stage, 69% with advanced stage, and 46% with last advanced stage within 6 months. The results have been adopted at the Kharkov city clinical hospital named after L.L.Girshman №14, Poltava regional clinical hospital named after M.B. Sklifasivskiy, Poltava pediatric city clinical hospital, Kharkov medical academy postdiploma education. The sphere of application: medicine, ophthalmology.
