USE OF PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY IN CHEMICAL BURNS OF DIFFERENT ETIOLOGIES OF THE SURFACE OF THE EYE

Abstract

60 patients (90 eyes) with a burn of the eyes of I and II degree of severity of various etiologies were examined. In the control group of patients, traditional treatment was carried out, for patients of the main group, in addition to the above treatment, photodynamic therapy was carried out. The level of protein, malondialdehyde, and catalase activity were determined in the lacrimal fluid. The use of photodynamic therapy in the complex treatment of patients with eye burns activates catalase and reduces the high level of malondialdehyde, especially with II degree burns, reduces the degree of endogenous intoxication and helps to accelerate the reparative processes of post-burn damage.
