A decrease in the rate of treatment of patients with keratitis in the outpatient and polyclinic ophthalmology center in 2016-2017, which is associated with the need for numbering directions within the framework of compulsory health insurance. Such restructuring led to an increase in paid applications to 12.7 and 40.3 % in patients with keratitis. A large proportion of the incidence in the last two years was attributable to viral keratitis, prone to recurrent course, and was 72 % and 66.7 %, respectively. Patients with keratitis of various etiologies with ophthalmologists of the VKDC were provided with a full volume of diagnostic and therapeutic measures, ranging from 18.1 to 100 %.
