FIELD: medicine, ophthalmology.
SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with ophthalmological surveys to predict ischemic lesions of optic nerve during menopause in women with arterial hypertension. One should study a peak systolic linear circulatory rate (LCR) and detect the index of resistance degree (IR) in orbital artery. Additionally, one should study LCR and IR in central retinal artery (CRA), in posterior short ciliary arteries (PSCA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), then one should detect the index of vasomotor reactivity of cerebral vessels, in particular, MCA and the level of retinal light sensitivity. At decreased index of vasomotor reactivity and LCR in orbital arteries by 15% and more at increased IR by 10% and higher, in combination with decreased foveolar light sensitivity by 25% and more against physiological norm it is possible to predict the development of ischemic optic neuropathy.
EFFECT: higher reliability of prediction.
