[The hemodynamics of the brain and eye in patients with presenile and senile nonexudative central chorioretinal dystrophy during health resort treatment].

Rheographic studies of the cerebral and ocular hemodynamics carried out in patients with presenile and senile nonexudative central chorioretinal dystrophies over a 26-day course of multiple-modality health resort treatment revealed left-side asymmetry of the earlier and more marked injuries of the ocular membranes and the carotid system, a low rheographic index of the carotid system as early as in the first stage of the disease. The findings evidence improvement of the brain and eye hemodynamics in the course of treatment, this being conducive to improvement of the ocular function during all stages of the disease. The most dynamic parameters were the rheo-ophthalmographic coefficient in the patients with all stages of the disease and the rheographic index of the central cerebral artery in those with Stages I and II maculodystrophy. Assessment of these parameters in the course of health resort therapy of the retinal conditions mentioned will help assess the treatment efficacy.
