Possible use of corneal lenticule in surgery of corneal diseases (literature review)

In this review, we analyzed the domestic and foreign literature on use of corneal lenticula obtained by keratorefractive surgery using SMILE technology (SMall Incision Lenticula Extraction). Research is being actively carried out a lenticular tissue for refractive purposes: correction hyperopia (LIKE – Lenticular Intrastromal Keratoplasty), presbyopia (PEARL PrEsbyopic Allogenic Refractive Lenticule). A significant amount works are devoted to treatment keratectasias various origins. For example, number authors keratoconus suggest implantation lenticule into recipient’s pocket formed femtolaser (SLAK Stromal addition keratoplasty). Clinical cases combined described: intrastromal segments pellucid degeneration. large lenticules tectonic coverage ulcerative defects, marginal thinning in Mooren’s ulcer. Several clinical cover deep defect recurrent pterygium described. This review also included articles storage decellularization lenticules. The show wide area application lenticule; however, more research required each areas application, it necessary solve problem procurement tissue.
