Application of pulse noninvasive ultraviolet irradiation in therapy of ocular surface changes

Abstract

The study included 45 patients (90 eyes) with ocular surface changes type of dry eye syndrome, etiological prerequisite for the observed was a combination of chronic blepharitis infectious etiology phenomena dysfunction meybomian glands and chronic eye ischemic syndrome. Patients of the main group in addition to tear replacement therapy was performed non-invasive ultraviolet irradiation device «Ecosvet-1», therapeutic effect which is due to its anti-inflammatory and scalp-stimulating effect, as well as the ability to improve the state of the microcirculation of tear production organ.
