SCOTOPIC SYSTEM CONDITION AT PATIENTS WITH DIABETES NOT HAVING DIABETIC RETINOPATHY ATTRIBUTES

Abstract

The diabetic retinopathy takes a special place among diabetes complications as it essentially effects on life quality of patients and is one of the principal causes of blindness and reduced vision among persons of able-bodied age. At present there was formed a tendency leading to informative increase and maximal objectivizing of early diagnostics methods. Electroretinography is a very sensitive method of estimation of a retina functional condition, allowing defining the most insignificant biochemical disorders which can precede initial clinical displays. Rod electroretinogram on white stimulus reflects electric activity of retina scotopic system function and allows revealing disorders of a functional condition of retina elements even at absence of ophthalmoscopic displays of diabetic retinopathy.
