[Diode lasers in ophthalmic surgery]

The paper outlines current aspects of the use of diode lasers in ophthalmology. The Ufa Research Institute of Eye Diseases is the first in Russia to develop and use endoscopic cyclic laser coagulation and laser endoscopic antegrade dacryocystorhinostomy. The introduction of new laser microendoscopic technologies into practical ophthalmology has increased the efficiency of ophthalmological care in the treatment of patients with non-compensated glaucoma and lacrimal duct diseases.
