Abstract
The article presents the data on the laser technique with use of the laser device "OKO-1" with wavelength 2.12 ?m. The laser thermokeratoplasty procedure is low traumatic, with insignificant lesions of endothelium and can be applied for elimination of anisometropia caused by hyperopia. The author shows that even without special training exercises the visual functions of amblyopic eye abruptly increase contributing to formation of stable binocular vision.
