[Applications of optical coherence tomography in glaucoma].

The article reviews literature on optical coherence tomography (OCT) - one of the modern methods of early diagnostics of primary open-angle glaucoma, which has won great popularity among Russian and foreign ophthalmologists. In addition to a summary of the history of the emergence and development of this method, the main purpose was to compare the investigation results and the analysis of the optic disc as the main target subjected to pathological alterations in glaucoma development. Most of the studies comparing the diagnostic capabilities of OCT and Heidelberg retinal tomography (HRT) in the early detection of glaucoma show equivalence of these methods.

[Heidelberg retinal tomography of the optic disc in the early diagnosis of glaucoma].

Aim: To analyze anatomical and topographic optic disc parameters with account to the disc area in glaucoma suspects.

Material And Methods: The study included 302 patients (408 eyes) aged 25 to 76 years (the mean age of 50.5±12.

[A new method for treating chronic blepharitis using magnetic compounds and an alternating magnetic field].

Discusses a new method of clinical use of alternating magnetic field from 0.1 to 0.25 T and of a magnetic ointment composition with reduced iron powder in patients with chronic blepharitis.

[Clinico-morphologic study of eyes with artiphakia].

Morphologically, 4 eyes of patients after intraocular lens implantation as well as their case histories have been studied. The eyes were taken at pathologoanatomic autopsy of the dead (within 7 days--3.5 years after surgery).
