Abstrakt:	Aim: To perform a comparative analysis of the following cross-linking techniques: standard cross-linking (SCXL), local transepithelial femto cross-linking (LTF) and transepithelial intrastromal femto cross-linking with MyoRing implantation (TIF+MyoRing) in experimental animals and patients with progressive stage II--III keratoconus (KC), paying particular attention to the changes in biomechanical stability of the cornea. Material and Methods: The experimental series was performed on 20 eyes of 10 rabbits. The animals were divided into 4 groups of 5. Group 1 served as the control, group 2 consisted of animals that underwent SCXL, group 3 -- of those after LTF, and group 4 -- of those after TIF+MyoRing. Femto step was performed using the IntraLase FS 60 kHz femtosecond laser, cross-linking - with the Evolution machine. The follow-up period was 1 month. Clinical study enrolled 48 patients (45 eyes) with stage II-III KC. Depending on the surgical technique all the patients were divided into 3 groups. In group I (14 eyes, 9 patients), TIF+MyoRing was performed, in group II (16 eyes, 20 patients) --SCXL, in group III (15 eyes, 19 patients) -- LTF. The follow-up period was 6 months. Results: The experiment showed a significant increase in rupture resistance of the cornea in all three groups. Six months after surgery, patients from group I demonstrated a 1.0±0.22 mmHg higher corneal resistance factor (CRF) and a 1.0±0.12 mmHg higher corneal hysteresis (CH). In group II, the said parameters increased by 0.8±0.10 mmHg and 0.6±0.16 mmHg, respectively; in group III -- by 0.8±0.25 mmHg and 0.6±0.26 mmHg, respectively. In neither group the density of endothelial cells has reduced significantly over the follow-up period. C-ONCLUSION: All three methods (LTF, TIF and SCXL) equally increase the biomechanical strength of the cornea and are safe. In patients with progressive stage II-III KC, TIF+MyoRing surgery has yielded an even higher improvement of biomechanical parameters in a 6-month follow-up period, which is due to the combination of mechanical and chemical mechanisms of corneal reinforcement.
