Purpose. To study the frequency and nosological structure of concomitant macular pathology in patients admitted for ophthalmic surgery. Material and methods. A study of the state of the macula was carried out in 337 eyes of 170 patients who underwent a diagnostic examination in the Khabarovsk Branch the S. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution in 2020. The patients' age was 58±15.2 years. The selection criterion was sufficient transparency of the optical media for viewing the macular zone. An in-depth examination of the macular zone was carried out using a forehead binocular reflex-free ophthalmoscope (Heine OMEGA500, Germany) and a non-contact lens (VOLK Double Aspheric 20D, USA), as well as optical coherence tomography (Cirrus HD-OCT 5000, «Carl Zeiss», Germany). The proportion of macular pathology among the patients who applied, the frequency and severity of its individual nosological forms were evaluated. Results. Various macular pathologies occurred in 28.2% of cases. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (47.9%) and epiretinal fibrosis (27.1%) accounted for a significant share in the structure of macular pathology. The frequency and structure of macular pathology in patients with age-related cataracts was analyzed. The incidence of macular pathology in them was 45.1%, of which AMD was detected in 65.2% of cases, epiretinal fibrosis – 7.8%. Conclusion. Among the group of patients selected by the method of continuous sampling with various ophthalmic surgical pathologies, 28.2% had various pathologies of the macular zone. The most common macular pathology occurred in the age group from 45 to 59 years old, accounting for 56.2% of cases. In the nosological structure of macular pathology, the share of AMD and epiretinal fibrosis prevailed. Key words: macular pathology, age-related macular degeneration, epiretinal fibrosis.

The article evaluates the effectiveness of changes in the organizational work of the diagnostics department of the Khabarovsk branch of the S. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution (Branch) in the context of a pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. The data on the organizational restructuring of the activities of the diagnostic department of the Branch are presented. It was due to strict requirements for compliance with anti-epidemic measures in the context of the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. Thanks to this, it was possible to maintain the annual volume of providing ophthalmic surgical care to residents of the Far Eastern region of the Russian Federation. Its decline was only 17.4%. Key words: pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19, ophthalmosurgical clinic, reorganization of work, volumes of planned surgery.
