Research into the treatment of combat eye injuries is a unique experience for Ukrainian ophthalmologists, which is in demand internationally, according to Oleg Zadorozhny, senior researcher at the Filatov Institute of Eye Diseases and Tissue Therapy in Odessa, Ukraine.
“Everything related to the diagnosis and treatment, including surgery, of combat eye injuries is promising and a priority. This is a unique experience for our department of post-traumatic eye pathology. Until now, there has been little such experience in the world, so the results of our specialists’ research in the field of combat eye injuries are highly valuable,” he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
He also noted that the most sought-after areas internationally include the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric ophthalmic pathology, in particular retinoblastoma, retinopathy of prematurity, and research in ophthalmic oncology.
“Fundamental research that brings us closer to understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of ophthalmic diseases opens up new possibilities for diagnosis and treatment,” he said.
