VISUAL FUNCTIONS STATUS IN THE GROUP OF CHILDREN WITH SECONDARY POSTUVEAL GLAUCOMA OPERATED BY TRADITIONAL METHODS

Abstract

There were studied the results of surgical treatment of patients with incapacitating ecosystem pathology, operated earlier by traditional methods. There was provided the ophthalmologic examination of the given group of children, including: electroretinogram, corneotopography, ultrasound and cytogenetic examination. There was set up the database of the performed function studies. Compensations of intraocular tension at traditional surgery happened during first months after the performed operation. In 3-6 months after providing of traditional surgery at children there was marked again the increase of intraocular pressure up to 35 ± 0,01 mm of mercury (Р <0,05). At study of electroretinography data there was revealed extinction electroretinogram (58, 3%), that testifies to progressive extinction of retina functions and an optic nerve. Absence of intraocular pressure compensations , progressive extinction of retina functions and optic nerve formed the basis for prescription of antihypertensive drugs and an impulse for development of a new surgery technique on secondary postuveal glaucoma on eyes with buphthalmus .
