BACKGROUND A growing body of evidence suggests that effective blood pressure reduction may inhibit the progression of microvascular damage in patients with essential arterial hypertension. However, the potential influence of anti-hypertensive drugs on ocular circulation has not been studied sufficiently. PURPOSE The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of anti-hypertensive therapy on ...

Ocular microangiopathic syndrome is the most frequent ophthalmic finding in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Ocular microvascular changes, including cotton-wool spots, are closely associated with neuroretinal and cognitive deficits in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Cell adhesion has become an important pathogenetic concept in infe...

Purpose: to study the state of blood flow in ocular arteries patients with various forms, stages and course types active retinopathy prematurity (ROP). Material methods. Colour duplex scanning was performed by colour Doppler mapping pulsed sonography for 55 premature babies (55 eyes) ROP 8 (8 without signs. The children’s gestation age 25 32 weeks, body weight at birth 680 to1760 g. Blood exami...

The purpose of the study is to determine the most important diagnostic criteria for distinguishing preperimetric glaucoma from perimetric glaucoma on the basis of a comprehensive assessment of structural changes and indicators of ocular blood flow. 90 eyes, including 30 eyes with preperimetric glaucoma, 30 eyes with perimetric glaucoma, and 30 normal eyes were analyzed in the present study. The...
