Abstract

The most effective treatment of vitreous body opacities is YAG-laser vitreolysis. The results of the optimized YAG-laser vitreolysis technique for vitreous opacities treatment in 160 patients (160 eyes) were analyzed. The parameters of ocular hydrodynamics and cytokine spectrum of lacrimal fluid were studied, the data of ultrasound biometry and lens densi-tometry were analyzed. There was significant improvement of clinical and functional indexes without changes in the ciliary body, no changes in the parameters of ocular hydrodynamics as well as absence of dimness in the posterior capsule of the lens. Application of optimized technology of YAG-laser vitreolysis of vitreous opacities permits to achieve the best values of clinical and functional indices and is a safe procedure.
