METHOD OF FUNCTIONAL STATE ASSESSMENT FOR OPTIC NERVE WITH DRUSE OF OPTIC NERVE DISC Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61B8/08 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, particularly to ophthalmology, and is intended for diagnostics and determination of druse volume in optic nerve disc. Three-dimensional ultrasonic scanning of optic nerve disc is performed. Total volume of optic nerve disc druses is determined. For druse volume under 0.005 cm³, functional state of optical nerve is considered standard, or slightly reduced. For druse volume of 0.005-0.015 cm³, functional state of optical nerve is considered moderately reduced. For druse volume over 0.015 cm³, functional state of optical nerve is considered severely reduced.

EFFECT: possible differentiated assessment of functional state of optic nerve with druse of optic nerve disc and further optic neuropathy forecast possible.
