[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 studies were carried out in 1050 subjects, 133 of them without ocular disease and 917 patients with myopia, initial open-angle glaucoma, retinal vein thrombosis, central serous chorioretinopathy, central atherosclerotic chorioretinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, toxic degeneration of the optic nerve, and contusions of the eye.
