METHOD FOR DETERMINING SCHLEMM CANAL BLOCK NATURE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves administering 1% pilocarpine solution to a patient three times after measuring ophthalmic tonus level and hydrodynamic parameters. Measuring ophthalmic tonus level and hydrodynamic parameters is repeated 60 min later. Pressure falling from high values to norm in combination with normalized value of discharge easiness coefficient, functional Schlemm canal block nature is to be diagnosed. Pressure falling to norm in combination with low value of discharge easiness coefficient, functional organic or mixed case of scleral sinus block is to be diagnosed. Pressure and discharge easiness coefficient being found at the same level, Schlemm canal block nature is considered to be organic. EFFECT: high accuracy of the method.
