[Microcirculatory bed of bulbar conjunctiva and fundus oculi vessels in cervical osteochondrosis]

A total of 100 patients (200 eyes) with cervical osteochondrosis were examined. Microcirculatory bed of the bulbar conjunctiva, pressure in the central retinal artery, and diameter of vessels in the fundus oculi were assessed. All these parameters were disordered in the examinees in comparison with normal controls. The degree of changes inversely correlated with clinical manifestations of cervical osteochondrosis. Study of ocular hemodynamics in this patient population helps predict the time course of the underlying disease.
