[Efficiency of laser coagulation in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment].

A hundred and seventeen (143 eyes) patients with different types of retinal detachment were examined. The patients were treated by laser coagulation on a LAHTA device (Milon). The clinical findings indicated the efficiency of retinal laser coagulation as an independent treatment for retinal rhegmatogenous detachment and indications for laser coagulation were defined in the following types of retinal detachment: subclinical local retinal detachment; fresh mobile retinal detachment (Stages A and B); non-mobile retinal detachment occupying not more than one quadrant, and partially self-circumscribed retinal detachment (Stages B and C1) taking up the lower quadrants.

[Multifocal studies of visual functions in the diagnosis of diseases of the ocular neurosensory apparatus].

The paper presents the results of using the current multifocal studies of visual functions in patients with various diseases of the retina (detachment, tapetoretinal abiotrophy, macular foramen). It provides evidence for the high correlation of changes detectable in these patients by statistical computer-assisted perimetry and multifocal electroretinography. The implication of comprehensive application of these techniques to the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of ocular neurosensory apparatus diseases and to the functional monitoring and evaluation of treatment has been ascertained.

[Photodynamic therapy for subretinal neovascular membranes. Communication 2. Results of treatment for complicated myopia].

The efficiency of photodynamic therapy (PDT) versus drug therapy was evaluated in patients with subretinal neovascular membranes (SNM) in complicated myopia (CM). Photosens (aluminum phthalocyanine) was intravenously injected in a dose of 0.05 mg/kg.

[Choroidal angioarchitectonics and colorimetric scanning].

The procedure proposed by the authors for colorimetric layer scanning of the fundus of the eye is able not only to identify choroidal capillaries as a uniform system, but also to enhance the accuracy of diagnosis and to increase the volume of findings, by analyzing the digital images of the structures of the eye grounds. A follow-up monitoring of the choroid and retinal pigment epithelium in patients with high-grade myopathy makes it possible to establish a diagnosis of early abnormal changes, to prescribe an appropriate treatment, and to evaluate its efficiency.
