METHOD FOR DETECTING INDICATION FOR SURGICAL TREATMENT OF NARROW-ANGLE GLAUCOMA IN PATIENTS OF MONGOLOID RACE Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, ophthalmosurgery. SUBSTANCE: width of a scleral calcar's strip, the width of a ciliary body strip, the depth of an anterior chamber, lenticular thickness, the length of an anterior-posterior optic axis and the length of a vitreous body should be measured. Moreover, if the ratio of the width of scleral calcar's strip to the width of a Schlemm's canal strip ranges within 1.5- 0.000001, and the width of a ciliary body to the width of a Schlemm's canal strip - within 1-0.000001, the ratio of the depth of an anterior chamber to lenticular thickness - within 0.22-0.45, and the ratio of the length of anterior- posterior axis to the length of a vitreous body - within 1.39-1.54 the operation for surgical treatment of a narrow- angle glaucoma in patients of mongoloid race should be prescribed. The method determines the indications for either laser or surgical treatment of glaucoma in patients of mongoloid race. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 2 dwg
