Insights

Cosaldon A+E improved visual function in patients with circulatory disorders and glaucoma. This treatment demonstrated positive effects on eye-ground vascular issues and chronic glaucoma symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Vascular Medicine

Context:

  • Investigated the efficacy of Cosaldon A+E in patients with severe vascular degenerative retinochoroidal circulatory disorders and chronic glaucoma.
  • Addressed conditions with often unfavorable prognoses and limited treatment options.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the therapeutic effect of Cosaldon A+E on visual function in patients with ocular vascular and glaucomatous conditions.
  • To assess the tolerability and impact on associated cerebrovascular insufficiency symptoms.

Summary:

  • Cosaldon A+E was administered to 61 patients, with a majority experiencing severe retinochoroidal circulatory issues or chronic glaucoma.
  • A significant improvement in visual function was observed in 43 patients, with moderate improvement in 8. Ten patients showed no change.
  • Positive effects were noted in chronic glaucoma, including cases without elevated intraocular pressure, and on symptoms of chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency.

Impact:

  • Cosaldon A+E offers a promising therapeutic approach for vascular eye-ground diseases like chorioretinopathy.
  • The study suggests a beneficial role for Cosaldon A+E in managing chronic glaucoma and improving visual outcomes.
