[Analysis of primary disability due to ophthalmic pathology in child population of the Amur region].

The state of health of child population is a constant care of ophthalmologists of the Amur region. Over the last few years the level of childhood disability due to ophthalmic pathology has decreased from 1.83 per ten thousand (1999) to 1.

[Results of the examination of hemodynamics of the eye and brain in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma].

The paper contains the results of examinations of hemodynamics of the eye and brain in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) obtained by the authors also by means of rheoophthalmography made to determine the functional status of intraocular vessels. New methods are suggested for diagnostic interpretation, which enhance the importance of rheography in examinations of hemodynamics of the eye and brain in patients with glaucoma. The authors used self-learning artificial neuron networks to process Fourie- and wavelet factors, obtained in novel rheoophthalmograms processing, which made it possible to recommend the described method for an early diagnosis of POAG.

[Our method of functional rheography of eye].

The technology of rheoophthalmogram obtaining and processing is modified by creating an automated rheographic complex (ARGC). The test for assessing the function of ocular vessels includes recording of the background rheoophthalmogram, local 10-min hypothermal exposure (+10 +/- 2 degrees C), and repeated recording of rheoophthalmogram 10 and 20 min after hypothermal exposure. The test helps determine the type of neurovascular reaction and the index of ocular vessel elasticity.

[The functional characteristics of the eye vessels in glaucoma and suspect glaucoma].

The paper analyses results after examination of the functional state of eye vessels in 92 patients (117 eyes) with initial stage of glaucoma and 44 persons (55 eyes) with suspected glaucoma. A control group included 31 patients (41 eyes) without any eye pathology. For assessment of the functional state of eye vessels, cryorheographic test was used.
