[Electric ophthalmologic stimulator Fosfen-1]

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Neurology
• Biomedical Engineering

Context:

• Ocular nerve atrophy presents significant challenges in ophthalmological, neurological, and neurosurgical patient care.
• Current therapeutic options for ocular nerve atrophy have limitations.

Purpose:

• To describe a novel electric eye stimulator for diagnosing and treating ocular nerve atrophy.
• To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of transcutaneous electric stimulation of the peripheral eye analyzer.

Summary:

• The developed electric eye stimulator utilizes transcutaneous electric stimulation applied to the peripheral eye analyzer.
• The device functions as both a diagnostic tool and a therapeutic intervention.
• Positive therapeutic effects were observed in patients with ocular nerve atrophy.

Impact:

• The electric eye stimulator offers a new diagnostic and therapeutic approach for ocular nerve atrophy.
• This technology has potential applications in ophthalmology, neurology, and neurosurgery.
• Further research may validate its clinical utility and expand treatment possibilities.
