MORPHOMETRIC FEATURES OF OPTIC NERVE HEAD AND PERIPAPILLARY RETINA AT KERATOCONUS

The data, first detected at optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with I-II stage keratoconus, is presented in the paper. OCT method is successfully used for a long time for diagnostics and monitoring of optic nerve and retina at glaucoma. Morphometric features of injury of optic nerve head and retina at primary open angle glaucoma are the most studied repeatedly and described in detail. Up to the present time, the papers on changes of eye ground in patients with keratoconus have been unavailable in print. At the same time, the authors detected morphometric changes of optic nerve head and peripapillary retina in patients with keratoconus by means of optical coherence tomography, which determines the scientific novelty and urgent character of this paper.
