Hemodynamic, electrophysiological and biochemical properties of the visual system of patients with severe destructive changes of the vitreous

The study (as the main group) 84 patients (84 eyes) aged 42-76 years with severe destructive changes of the vitreous (VDIST), as a control group examined 32 patients of appropriate age and sex, with little or no pathology of the vision. It was found that the occurrence of VDIST accompanied by significant enough violations of hemodynamic and biochemical parameters of the visual system, as well as the parameters of microcirculation. It is assumed that the significantly reduced level of functioning of visual analyzer patients with severe VDIST can be considered as one of the leading risk factors for the development of further more serious vitreoretinal disorders (retinal detachment, macular holes).
