METHOD FOR EVALUATING EFFICIENCY OF TREATING MACULAR RUPTURE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61B3/10 A61B8/10 A61B8/13 

FIELD: medicine, ophthalmology.

SUBSTANCE: one should carry out optic coherent retinal tomography before the onset of therapy and after it in 1 wk and in 1 mo. On a tomogram it is necessary to detect the availability of affected integrity in retinal layers and retinal thickness in the center and along the edge of fovea. In case, it is observed the escape of a defect and restoration of retinal layers and thickened retina in foveolar center up to 100 mcm and more and decreased retinal thickness along the edge of fovea up to 250 mcm and below therapy should be considered to be efficient and sufficient. If a tomogram illustrates decreased retinal defect in combination with decreased retinal thickness along the edge of fovea up to 250 mcm and less one should detect the flattening of the rupture. If a tomogram demonstrates broadened borders of macular rupture and increased retinal thickness along the edge of fovea one should consider the therapy conducted to be inefficient.

EFFECT: higher accuracy of evaluation.
