METHOD OF PREDICTING DIABETIC RETINOPATHY Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61B3/10 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to ophthalmology and is intended for prediction of diabetic retinopathy development in patients with pancreatic diabetes. Reaction of pupils in the darkness in case of normoglycemia and hyperglycemia with gradient of glycemia not less than 7-8 mmol/l against the background of similar AP and IOP is carried out. Value of pupil amplitude difference is determined in mm against the background of similar arterial (AP) and intraocular pressure (IOP). If difference is more than 0.42 mm in case of pancreatic diabetes of I type and more than 0.67 mm in case of PD of II type diabetic retinopathy development is predicted.

EFFECT: method allows to extend arsenal of means for prediction of diabetic retinopathy development in patients with pancreatic diabetes applying simple, non- invasive, available to wide application method of examination, for adequate observation of patients in order to treat complications in due time.
