Eye diseases in children for which yag-laser reconstructive interventions are effective

Abstract

Based on many years of experience in laser ophthalmosurgery in children (from 1991 to 2019, 5376 YAG laser reconstructive surgeries were performed in children aged 2 months to 17 years in the department of eye pathology in children of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Helmholtz NMRCED(MRI)GB", improvement of laser technologies (traditional laser techniques are adapted for children, 14 proprietary techniques are patented), an expanded and detailed list of eye diseases in children has been developed and illustrated for practical pediatric ophthalmologists, for which YAG-laser reconstructive interventions are effective, for implementation into clinical practice of pediatric ophthalmology in the Russian Federation.
