Features of corneal pathomorphology in secondary dystrophy of traumatic genesis

Abstract

Currently, secondary corneal dystrophy is a common cause of corneal blindness. In addition to a significant decrease of vision, this pathology is accompanied by a significant corneal syndrome and damage to all layers of corneal tissue. The article presents the data of light microscopy of a fragment of the surface layer of pathologically altered corneal tissue obtained during surgical treatment of secondary corneal dystrophy of traumatic genesis. It was found that in this pathology there is a expressed fibrinoid swelling of the main substance and neovascularization of the subepithelial structures of the cornea. Keywords: secondary corneal dystrophy, pathomorphology, fibrinoid swelling, neovascularization
