METHOD FOR EVALUATING THE CLINICAL COURSE OF PARTIAL ATROPHY OF THE OPTIC NERVE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC A61B5/04 A61B8/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to ophthalmology, and can be used for assessing the course of partial optic nerve atrophy (PONA) of non-glaucomatous aetiology. In the affected eye, electric lability of the optic nerve (EL), peak systolic V_OS and maximum end diastolic V_OD blood flow velocity in the orbital artery, as well as peak systolic V_CS and maximum end diastolic V_CD blood flow velocity in the lateral posterior short ciliary artery. At simultaneous performance of EL conditions≤28 Hz, V_OS≤30.0 cm/s, V_OD≤8.0 cm/s, V_CS≤10.0 cm/s, V_CD≤2.0 cm/s shows the course of partial optic atrophy as progressive.

EFFECT: method provides a non-invasive assessment of the clinical course of PONA of non-glaucomatous aetiology by determining the optic nerve EL and blood flow velocity in the orbital artery and the lateral posterior short ciliary artery.
