[Psychophysiological components of electrostimulation of the visual analyzer and their use to choose adequate parameters of therapeutic current].

The paper deals with search for signs or controllers of the adequacy of chosen visual analyzer electrostimulation (ES) parameters accessible for an outpatient physician. The subjective characteristics of phosphene-elementary visual sensation under the influence of electric current on the visual tract are identified; changes in the properties of phosphene in response to those of ES parameters were traced. The subjective characteristics of phosphene indirectly evaluates the degree of visual tract lesion and may serve as a controller of adequacy of ES parameters. The resultant algorithm of management of the properties of each identified characteristics of phoshene significantly enhances the efficiency of therapeutical ES.
