[Optical coherence tomography angiography in the diagnosis of retinal microvascular changes in chronic kidney disease (clinical observations)].

One distinctive pathological sign of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is microcirculatory disorders, which mark it as a microvascular disease. Similarity in the blood supply of the retina and kidneys, in the anatomy of their vascularization lead to identical complications in these organs. The retinal-choroidal microvascular system is easily accessible for clinical and morphological assessment and can be examined by the reproducible and non-invasive method - optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA).

[Prevalence of ophthalmic diseases in the population older than 50 years].

Unlabelled: The ageing of population is accompanied by an increase in the frequency of chronic diseases, including ophthalmic. The progression of ophthalmologic disturbances has population specificity and its analysis in Russian population is relevant.

Purpose: To study the prevalence and age- and gender-related gradient of ophthalmic diseases (cataract, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy) in the Russian population older than 50 years.
