Abstract:
This paper deals with refractive disorders in cataract surgery. The authors have studied the efficiency of eximer laser correction (LASIK) of astigmatism on pseudophakic eyes and proposed their own modification of the technology "Pre-flap" that provides the most advantageous conditions for laser correction. In addition, preflapping permits correction of astigmatism in the immediate period after cataract extraction, thus reducing the time of the patients' rehabilitation. Clinical and functional studies have provided evidence for the proposed procedure.

01:28Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
01:16Focusing of Light in the Eye
Light rays enter the eye through the cornea, a transparent dome-shaped tissue that is the eye's outermost layer. The cornea bends or refracts, light rays traveling to the pupil. The shape of the cornea determines how much of the light is bent and whether the image will be focused correctly on the retina at the back of the eye. Once the light has passed through both refraction layers, it converges into a single focal point onto a small area. This is where photoreceptors start transforming...
