[Capabilities of physiotherapy for orbital trauma].

The article describes the results of conservative treatment of 78 patients with injuries of ocular adnexa (isolated fractures of orbital walls as well as cicatrical deformities of orbits and eyelids). Ophthalmological assessment was made both in the early and the late periods following blunt trauma. All patients underwent a standard assessment of functional ability of the eye and, additionally, an orbital computed tomography scan to characterize the fractures.

[Study of ocular hemodynamics and general somatic status of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma].

Ocular hemodynamics and general somatic status were studied in 50 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma. Complex ophthalmological and therapeutic examinations were carried out, macro- and microcirculatory hemodynamics of the eye was examined, case histories and therapeutic status of patients were analyzed with due regard for previous local hypotensive and general vascular therapy. Revised recommendations for glaucoma patients aimed at correcting their life style include diet, regular vascular and metabolic therapy, normalization of orbital circulation in order to improve ocular hemodynamics and increase the tolerance of the optic nerve to intraocular pressure fluctuations.

[Indocyanine green fluorescence iridoangiography in pigmented iris].

Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent iridoangiography was used to diagnose pigmented tumors of the iris. Ten patients with pigmented tumors of the iris were examined using a modified photo-slit lamp with infrared narrow-strip optic filters. Fluorescein fluorescent iridoangiography was found ineffective.

[Iridoangiography using indocyanine green in severely pigmented iris in clinical conditions].

The authors presented the results of iridoangiography. In the course of the studies it was established that infrared light is tolerated easier than the blue one in fluorescent iridoangiography. This technique is of interest for the study of microcirculation in the vessels of the iris of the eye in inflammatory and dystrophic processes.
