To analyze the literature reflecting the main modern methods of visualizing the angle of the anterior chamber of the eye, which are used in patients with glaucoma. Material and methods. To perform the review, a search was carried out for literature sources on the Pubmed, Scopus and Elibrary reference databases for the period up to 2022 inclusive using the following keywords: anterior camera angle, gonioscopy, electronic gonioscopy, optical coherence tomography, ultrasound biomicroscopy and the same phrases in Russian. Results. The variety of clinical and morphological forms of glaucoma, the wide prevalence, frequency of occurrence and steady growth of this disease require timely diagnostics, as well as dynamic monitoring of the results of conservative and surgical treatment in patients with glaucoma. Despite the importance of such a diagnostic method as gonioscopy, ophtalmologists still do not use it sufficiently, the frequency of its application during the first visit to the doctor for glaucoma varies from 17.96 to 45.9%. There are also additional instrumental methods of examination of patients with glaucoma that allow an objective assessment of the structures of the eye anterior segment: automated gonioscopy, optical coherence tomography of the eye anterior segment and ultrasound biomicroscopy. These methods can be used both for the primary diagnosis of glaucoma and its dynamic observation, as well as for choosing surgical treatment tactics and monitoring its results thanks to high-precision visualisation and image documentation. Each of them has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, depending on the specifics of the disease and the presence of concomitant ocular pathology, which are described in this article. Conclusion. Taking into account the variety of clinical forms of glaucoma and the insufficient equipment of medical institutions, especially primary care, it can be concluded that it is necessary to improve diagnostic algorithms. Methods such as electronic gonioscopy, optical coherence tomography of the eye anterior segment and ultrasound biomicroscopy will make the diagnostic process more accurate and informative, help to correctly diagnose and determine treatment tactics for both primary care physicians and surgeons. The possibility of documenting the results obtained and creating a system for their analysis can contribute to the founding of a generalized database, which will greatly simplify and accelerate the process of providing care to patients with glaucoma.

SOCT was performed in 40 premature infants (40 eyes) with aggressive posterior ROP, born at 25–28 weeks gestation, with a birth weight of 680–1350 g. 15 infants had early clinical features, optical coherence tomography with angiography function (OCT-A) was performed in 4. 25 infants had pronounced clinical features, OCT-A was performed in 3. The comparison group included 10 premature infants (10 eyes) without signs of ROP, as well as 23 children (23 eyes) with an unfavorable type of stage 3 of classical active ROP. Results. Early clinical features of aggressive posterior ROP were characterized by the absence of an avascular zone in fovea, vasodilation of the superficial and deep retinal plexus, the presence of intraretinal neovascularization in the perifovea, and multiple arteriolo-venular shunts. The severity of the pathological process in children with pronounced clinical features of aggressive posterior ROP reflected the development of massive neovascularization affecting all structures of the vitreoretinal interface, as well as the presence of areas of retinoschisis, indicating a high risk of the retinal detachment.

Today, the problem is particularly relevant for cases of keratoconus combined with high refractive ametropia. An extensive review of protocols for the combined use of corneal cross-linking (CXL) in combination with photorefractive keratotomy (PRK), phototherapeutic keratectomy (FTC), IRS, and phakic intraocular lens implantation shows that these protocols require further research to prove the best treatment options. Purpose. To evaluate the effectiveness of the fourstage model of surgical treatment of keratoconus in combination with high refractive ametropia. Material and methods. Between 2016 and 2019, 16 patients (22 eyes) aged 18 to 40 years were operated on using the four-step procedure including intrastromal corneal segments (ICRS) implantation, CXL the next day after the surgery, phakic toric lens implantation (Visian ICL STAAR, implantable collamer lens) 8 months after the surgery, and transepithelial topographic PRK 6 months after the surgery. The study group included patients with keratoconus stage II–III according to the classification of Amsler M. (1961). Patients were examined before, 10 days, 1, 3, 6, 8 and 12 months after the surgery according to a unified program, including determination of visual acuity without (NCVA) and with maximum correction (MCVA), autorefractometry (TOMEY RC-5000), non-contact tonometry (TOMEY FT-1000), Pentacam corneal topography, Wavelight Oculyzer (ALCON), Topolyzer VARIO tomography (ALCON), OCT of the anterior segment Cirrus HD-OCT 5000 (Zeiss, Germany). Results. Indicators of NCVA (M±SD) before and after the 1st operation were 0.02±0.015 and 0.08±0.022 (p=0.05). After the 2nd operation, the NCVA (0.10±0.025) didn‘t change significantly, after the 3rd operation its value increased more than 4 times (0.42±0.11). After the 4th operation, a statistically significant increase in NCVA was observed (0.58±0.12). Conclusion. In patients aged 18 to 40 years with progression of keratoconus, with high myopia, due to the inexpediency of excimer laser operations and where the depth of the anterior chamber isn‘t less than 3 mm, the combined four-stage method of treating keratoconus can be performed as a more effective method.

In recent years, due to the shortage of donor corneas, the need to creating conditions for storing stromal lenticules in eye banks for their clinical use in ophthalmosurgery have been actively discussed. Currently, scientists are looking for optimal conditions for storage native lenticules. There were no reports of storage of decellularized lenticules in the literature. Purpose. To develop optimal conditions for cryopreservation of stromal tissue-engineered constructs for the subsequent creation of a cryobank. Material and methods. The optical properties of native lenticules and tissue–engineered corneal constructs (TCs) were assessed using spectrophotometry. We used a decellularization protocol with 1.5 M NaCl with DNase 5 U/ml and RNase 5 U/ml to create TC. Dispersed viscoelastic agent approved for clinical use in ophthalmology was used for dehydration of TC. Three comparison groups were formed: 1st – control group (native lenticules), 2nd – group without dehydration of TC, 3rd – group with dehydration of TC. The spectrophotometer data was evaluated in 2 stages. The transparency of the control group was measured at 1 stage. At the second stage, the transparency of two experimental groups after storage in DMSO was investigated (a group without dehydration of TC and a group with dehydration of TC). Results. When compared between groups without dehydration of TC; with dehydration of TC and the control group (p≥0.05), no statistical difference was revealed, and when comparing groups without dehydration of TC and groups with dehydration of TC (p≥0.05), no statistical difference was revealed. Conclusion. Groups with dehydration of TC and without dehydration of TC after storage in DMSO did not differ in transparency. In this regard, these groups should be considered as interchangeable in terms of optical properties.

There are many causes of spontaneous hemorrhage into the vitreous cavity. Sometimes spontaneous nontraumatic vitreous hemorrhage can be rhegmatogenous in nature, occurring as a result of a ruptured retinal vessel running through the site of a retinal tear. Usually, a patient with spontaneous nontraumatic vitreous hemorrhage is managed with a conservative approach, but it is questionable whether conservative management of patients with this pathology is advisable. Purpose. To evaluate the results of surgical treatment of patients with idiopathic, presumably rhegmatogenous vitreous hemorrhage. Material and methods. Surgical treatment of 10 patients diagnosed with idiopathic vitreous hemorrhage, presumably of rhegmatogenous nature, was performed and the results of treatment were evaluated. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) before treatment was on average 0.03. Slit lamp examination revealed dispersed vitreous hemorrhage into the vitreous body with a total obscuration of the posterior pole.
