THE SUCCESS OF LASER SURGERY IS UNDENIABLE.
In the initial stages of introducing laser correction, there was a misconception that it could address any degree of myopia. However, it became apparent that the effectiveness of the laser was limited to -7 diopters. Individuals with higher degrees of myopia were not suitable candidates for laser surgery and were at risk of experiencing complications. Consequently, strict criteria were established for selecting patients for laser correction, enabling us to identify suitable candidates. I was instrumental in developing and implementing these selection criteria on a global scale.
For individuals unsuitable for surgery, another option known as phakic lens implantation provides a solution. This involves implanting a specialized mini-lens inside the eye for those whose corneal curvature cannot be altered through traditional methods. I was part of the development team for these lenses, which began in 1986 at the Fedorov Institute. As the technology was replicated worldwide, I traveled extensively to train surgeons on patient selection, preparation, and surgical procedures. Experimental surgeries on isolated pig's eyes were conducted under my supervision, with successful surgeons receiving certification.
Thus, the development of rear-chamber phakic lens technology has been my ongoing focus, encompassing research, education, and clinical practice. Through lectures, courses, scientific publications, and case reviews, we continue to refine treatment algorithms for conditions involving phakic lens implantation.
