[Indications for keratotomy].
The paper analyses indication to anterior radial keratotomy. Results of the study carried out concerning the influence of uncorrected myopia on successful fulfillment of different tasks (aiming from a sporting gun, operation of a bridge crane, take off and landing on the airplane trainer, etc.) have shown that myopia of 2. OD doesn't influence the fulfillment of work not only with objects situated at near distance from the eyes but at far distance as well. Thus the mentioned myopia cannot serve as a professional indication to keratotomy. The analysis of typical complaints of patients after keratotomy allowed to distinguish 8 main complaints and to assess their incidence and causes as well as causes their of appearance. It is established that even uncomplicated keratotomy can lead to functional changes in vision lowering visual capacity for work. On the basis of all mentioned above a scheme of indications and contraindications to keratotomy is proposed.
