PROTEOMIC DIAGNOSTIC TECHNOLOGIES IN PROGNOSTICATION OF THE CATARACT PHACOEMULSIFICATON OUTCOMES

In traditional approach to cataract management in children high percentage (73.8) of repeated interventions as laser discission remains. Introduction of posterior capsulorrhexis in combination with anterior vitrectomy allowed decreasing by a factor of five the risk of visual axis opacities and creating favourable conditions for the more efficient amblyopia treatment. At that no additional expenses were needed for realization of this surgical method. Decrease of laser discissions in number provided economic effect. Expenses for the laser treatment in the group of children with posterior capsulorrhexis and anterior vitrectomy were reduced more than by a factor of five.
