Abstract
This paper is focused on the specific clinical, anatomical, and functional characteristics of different forms of combined pathology including congenital glaucoma and congenital corneal opacification (of non-glaucomatous etiology). These conditions were revealed with the use of such highly informative method for the examination of the anterior parts of the eye as ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). The results of analysis of biological and functional outcomes of the surgical treatment by means of penetrating keratoplasty are presented. The method is applicable to the treatment of the young children differing in the degree of manifestations of the changes in the anterior parts of the eye.
