METHOD OF PREDICTING PROBABILITY OF ARISING AND RATE OF PSEUDOEXFOLIATION SYNDROME PROGRESSION Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61B5/00 A61B8/10 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in ophthalmogeriatric practice for prediction of pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) arising, rate of its progression and determining indications for performing cataract extraction in due time. Method lies in determining index of eye ageing and if its value is more than 1.5 arising of quickly-progressing PES with development of 3 degree in terms up to 3 years from the momenr of arising is predicted, if values are 1.0-1.5 possibility of arising of slowly progressing PES, with development of 3 degree in terms longer than 3 years from the moment of arising, is predicted.

EFFECT: method allows to realise prediction of PES arising and rate of its progression.
