Abstract
in English, Russian

Keratectasia (KE) ranks as one of the main causes of impaired vision. The pathology is characterized by progressive thinning of the cornea, which causes its deformation, the appearance of irregular astigmatism, and the reduction of vision acuity. The article reviews modern surgical methods that can be used to prevent the progression and treat various types of KE.

Кератэктазии (КЭ) занимают одно из ведущих мест среди причин слабовидения. Для этой патологии характерны прогрессирующее истончение роговицы, приводящее к ее деформации, возникновение нерегулярного астигматизма и снижение остроты зрения. В обзоре представлены современные хирургические методы, обеспечивающие возможность профилактики прогрессирования и лечения различных видов КЭ.
