METHOD FOR TREATING TERMINAL AND GONE-TOO-FAR GLAUCOMA Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61F9/08 A61N5/67 A61K31/409 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves doing vitrectomy, withdrawing posterior hyaline membrane, making radial optical neurotomy, trans-sclerally irradiating ciliary body regions field-by-field between direct muscles in four quadrants 1.5-2 mm far from limb using low intensity laser radiation of wavelength equal to 633 nm at a dose of 2.5 J or wavelength of 890 nm at a dose of 1.2 J. Chlorine row photosensitizer is intravenously introduced and ciliary body regions are trans-sclerally irradiated field-by-field with neighboring fields overlapping by 5% of area between direct muscles in four quadrants 1.5-2 mm far from limb using laser radiation of wavelength corresponding to maximum light emission absorption on photosensitizer part and power density equal to 50-80 J/cm² 5 min later after having introduced the photosensitizer. Another embodiment of the invention involves doing vitrectomy, withdrawing posterior hyaline membrane, making radial optical neurotomy, trans-sclerally irradiating the whole zone of ciliary body field-by-field 1.5-2 mm far from limb using low intensity laser radiation of wavelength equal to 633 nm at a dose of 2.5 J or wavelength of 890 nm at a dose of 1.2 J. Chlorine row photosensitizer is intravenously introduced and ciliary body regions are irradiated field-by-field with neighboring fields overlapping by 5% of area using laser radiation of wavelength corresponding to maximum light emission absorption on photosensitizer part and power density equal to 40-50 J/cm² 5 min later after having introduced the photosensitizer.

EFFECT: dosed action upon ciliary body; reduced risk of traumatic complications; stable ophthalmotonus compensation; improved microcirculation in optic nerve; improved vision function.
