The article presents the results of treatment of patients with induced endothelial-epithelial corneal dystrophy by the method combining phototherapeutic keratostromectomy with intrastromal amnioplasty. Positive therapeutic effect is achieved by the formation of two fibrocellular membranes in corneal tissue at different levels, one of which acts as a powerful biological stimulator of regenerative processes. The method allows to reduce the manifestation of corneal syndrome, reduce swelling and improve visual acuity.

Key words: amnion, endothelial-epithelial dystrophy, cornea.
