LYMPHOTROPIC THERAPY IN STABILIZATION OF GLAUCOMA PROCESSES IN PATIENTS WITH OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMAWITH NORMALIZED INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE IN DEVELOPED AND ADVANCED STAGES OF THE DISEASE

Abstract

The efficiency of lymphotropic therapy by heparin and emoxipin in stabilization of glaucoma process in patients with openangle glaucoma with normalized intraocular pressure (IOP) in developed and advanced stages of the disease was analyzed on the material of 202 patients (378 eyes), including 126 patients in the developed stage of glaucoma and 76 in the advanced stage. The process of stabilization in the advanced stage of glaucoma in patients treated with lymphotropic therapy (104 persons, 190 eyes), was observed in 92.30% of cases, i.e., by 1.67 times higher than in patients of the control group (98 persons, 188 eyes) - 55.38% of the cases. At the advanced stage stabilization was observed in 68.60% of eyes of the study group, i.e., by 2.48 times higher than in controls (27.63%). Thus, the use of repeated courses of lymphotropic therapy in patients with glaucoma with normalized IOP both in developed and in advanced stages of glaucoma leads to a more favorable course of the disease than the standard approach in the treatment of this pathology.
