Keratomileosis Intrastromal (Intrastromal Keratomileusis)

Intrastromal Keratomileusis is a surgical procedure to correct high levels of nearsightedness (myopia) that cannot be treated with other methods, such as radial keratotomy.

During this surgery, the surgeon removes a small disc of corneal tissue (stroma) from the central part of the cornea. This disc is then frozen, machined on a special lathe to change its curvature, and implanted back into the patient's cornea.

Changing the curvature of the corneal disc leads to a change in the curvature of the cornea as a whole, which, in turn, reduces the degree of myopia.

Excimer laser can also be used to treat high myopia, which simplifies the surgical process compared to keratomileusis.

Intrastromal keratomyleosis is in clinical trials and is not yet a widely used procedure. However, it is a promising treatment for severe forms of myopia that cannot be corrected by other means.



Keratomyleos Intrastromal Keratome is a type of laser vision correction that is used to treat high myopia. This procedure is a new step in the development of ophthalmology and is currently undergoing clinical testing.

The essence of this procedure is to remove a small area of ​​corneal tissue and then freeze it. The cornea area is then processed with a special miniature lathe, which corrects its shape. After this, a section of the cornea is re-implanted into the eye.

As a result of this procedure, the cornea changes its shape and curvature. This helps reduce myopia. However, it is worth noting that this procedure is quite complex and requires a highly qualified ophthalmologist.

An excimer laser can also be used to treat severe myopia. This procedure is simpler and less invasive, but requires a longer recovery period.

Thus, intrastromal keratomyleosis is a promising direction in ophthalmology, which makes it possible to successfully treat high myopia that cannot be cured using other methods.



Keratomylosis, an intrastomal type of surgical intervention in the inner layers of the cornea, is a method of treating high myopia. This technique is still being tested and is rarely used in ophthalmological practice due to the incomplete clinical research procedure.

The main reason for the development of myopia is changes in the human visual system, mainly changes in the length of the eye, a decrease in the refractive power of the lens between the retina and the lens, called the refractive center. The convergence of these points leads to incorrect determination of the shape and size of objects located far from us, and an image of blurred contours enters the visual area. This feature of the eyes in people with myopia is scientifically called the accommodative setting of the visual apparatus. Therefore, the main goal of surgical treatment is to restore correct refraction and normalize the size of the eye. In case of myopia, after normalizing the function of the eyeball and correcting all pathologies of its structure, vision is completely restored. To treat myopic refraction, it is necessary to correct the refractive properties of the eye, which remain altered for many years. Essentially, with this eye disease, the wall of the eye sac is stretched, which disrupts the straightness of the lens. After normalizing the properties of the eye, residual correction is carried out by optical Fresnel. In the process of this adjustment, the shape of the cornea changes, and microkeratotomy intervention is used for this.

During keratomylysis of the intrascleral type of intervention, a disc is removed from the layered retina, it is frozen using cryosurgical devices, then the size of the disc is adjusted to the parameter we need, the disc is put in place and after a while the tissue taken site is opened and it is inserted into place. This type of surgical intervention is considered to be quite more complicated than other techniques, but this procedure is very effective, which makes it possible to carry out treatment in an easier and more accessible form.
