FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, ophthalmology and aims at determining the indications for a laser coagulation required by myopia of various degrees in pregnant women. The method involves examining the eye ground and detecting retinal dystrophy. That is combined with the digital photographing of the eye ground in the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy to determine an area and a volume of distribution of the macular pigment. If observing a decrease of these values in the second and third trimester as compared to the values of the first trimester by 10% and 8% and more respectively, the laser coagulation is recommended. If the values in the third trimester following the laser coagulation performed in the second trimester are equal to or less than the values of the second trimester, the repeated laser coagulation is recommended.
EFFECT: method provides the reliable screening control of the eye ground transition state, detecting the risk group of retinal dystrophy in pregnant women, enables detecting the early pathogenetically grounded preventive treatment, avoiding the eye contact, even in those cases when there are no clearly defined ophthalmological changes shown by conventional ophthalmological examination, thereby promotes reducing a rate of operative delivery, and increasing the number of spontaneous vaginal delivery.
