Abstract

Glaucoma is a progressive disease of the vision organ that leads to irreversible blindness. Due to increased intraocular pressure in this disease, retinal cells are destroyed, the optic nerve of the eye atrophies, and visual signals stop entering the brain. A person begins to see worse, peripheral vision is impaired, as a result of which the visibility area is limited. Early diagnosis of glaucoma remains one of the current problems in ophthalmology: more than 50% cases remain undiagnosed. The use of optimal diagnostic methods gives ability to identify patients at an early stage disease, when it is still possible to prevent irreversible changes in vision. Clear clinical assessment in combination with modern diagnostic technologies increases the level of diagnostics and allows choosing the right tactics in patient management.
