Eggera's keratoma

Jäger's keratome is a type of keratotomy that is used to treat corneal diseases. This is a surgical procedure in which an incision is made in the cornea to restore its shape and structure.

Jäger's keratosis was developed in 1960 by a German ophthalmologist named Jäger. He named it after the Greek word kerat, meaning cornea, and the Greek word tome, meaning cut.

The essence of the operation is that an incision is made on the cornea using a special instrument - a keratome. The incision is made in the shape of a “V” or “U” and is about 0.5 mm deep. After this, a special glue is applied to the cornea, which helps it recover and strengthen its structure.



Keratome Eger**a** is a specialized medical procedure for the treatment of a number of diseases in the eye area. This procedure was developed in 1984 by German scientists and comes from the Greek word “kerat” (keratoma) and the Greek “tome” (dissection, incision). It is performed using laser surgery and is used in ophthalmology to improve vision and treat various eye diseases, such as cataracts, glaucoma, retinal dystrophy and others.

Jäger's keratome includes two main stages: **retinal photocoagulation** and **laser surgery**.

The first step of this procedure is a photocoagulation procedure, which is aimed at removing abnormal retinal cells that can cause a number of diseases such as glaucoma. This process of cell destruction is called photodioneurosis. Photocoagulation is performed using a special laser that shines a thin beam of light onto the retina and temporarily damages its cells. This procedure allows you to restore
