After conducting photodynamic therapy according to the data of long-wave fundusgraphy and fluorescent angiography the reliable reduction in the area of subretinal neovascular complex is determined by 22% and 31% respectively. The noninvasive method of long-wave fundusgraphy can be used both independently and in the complex with fluorescent angiography for diagnosis and dynamic observation for the subretinal neovascular membranes after photodynamic therapy.

A comparative analysis of efficacy of LASIK and «Cool LASIK» treatment of patients with moderate and high level of myopia was made. Of 158 patients, 79 underwent LASIK and 79 underwent «Cold LASIK». As a result the level of discomfort and quantity of complications after «Cold LASIK» was less compared with LASIK. The visual acuity is better after «Cold LASIK».
