title: [The treatment of herpetic keratitis by ion-plasma coagulation of the cornea].
abstract: The authors propose a new treatment method for herpetic keratitis: ion-plasmic corneal coagulation using a "Strimer" device designed and build by themselves. After successfully experimenting the action of the ion-plasmic flow on the guinea pigs cornea, the "Strimer" device has been used in the clinic. Using this device, 32 patients with herpetic keratitis have been treated, 3 of them having metaherpetical keratitis. Most of the patients (25) were cured and left the hospital after 4-7 days from intervention, with the visual acuity improved from 0.1-0.5 to 0.7-1. The others 7 patients left the hospital after 10-15 days from the intervention, with a better visual acuity.
