METHOD FOR DETERMINING INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE TOLERANCE (INTOLERANCE) OF A PATIENT Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves measuring intraocular pressure. Static computer-assisted perimetry method is used in a way that luminous spot serves as test object. The spot acts upon eye in various vision field points with threshold brightness and then in growing sequence. Eye retina light-sensitivity is measured in vision field points under study. The number of points is set with patient examination program. Total light-sensitivity is measured in decibels. Medicamentous reduction of intraocular pressure is achieved with 0.5% Ocupress solution introduced as drops twice with 5-6 min long interval. The intraocular pressure being reduced at least by 4 mm of mercury column, repeated static perimetry examination is carried out. Total light-sensitivity being increased less than by 50 dB, individual initial intraocular pressure tolerance conclusion is drawn. Total light-sensitivity being increased by 50 dB or more, individual initial intraocular pressure intolerance conclusion is drawn.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in determining intraocular pressure tolerance/intolerance.
