[Vision disorders to vascular dysregulation].

As in the case in other organs, there are infarctions in the eye due to arterial sclerosis. Here, the classic risk factors apply. In addition to such infarctions, there are reversible perfusion disturbances caused by vascular dysregulation. These very frequently lead to slight, transient functional failures which are scarcely noticed by the patient. In more seldom cases, such dysregulation can contribute to the pathogenesis of various disease entities. Of these, the ocular vasospastic syndrome, migraine, glaucoma, apoplexy of the optic nerve, and vein thrombosis were examined.
