METHOD TO FORECAST DEVELOPMENT OF GLAUCOMA IN CASE OF PROGRESSING NEARSIGHTEDNESS Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61B8/10 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely, to ophthalmology, and may be used in ophthalmologic survey to forecast development of glaucoma in case of progressing nearsightedness. In patients with progressing nearsightedness, using method of triplex scanning, values of indices of peripheral resistance are identified in orbital arteries of the right (RI^OD _OA) and the left (RI^OS _OA) of eyes and in one of rear long ciliary arteries of the right (RI^OD _RLCA) and the left (RI^OS _RLCA) of eyes. Then hemodynamic iridociliary coefficients are calculated, using the following formulas: ICC^OD=RI^OD _OA/RI^OD _RLCA, ICC^OS=RI^OS _OA/RI^OS _RLCA, where ICC^OD - hemodynamic iridociliary coefficient of the right eye, ICC^OS - hemodynamic iridociliary coefficient of the left eye. If value of any iridociliary coefficient is below 0.9, development of glaucoma is forecasted on according eye.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to forecast development of glaucoma in case of progressing nearsightedness with high extent of validity.
