ANALYSIS OF OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY DATA IN PATIENTS WITH VARIOUS VARIANTS OF THE GLAUCOMA PROCESS

Today, about 537 million people in the world aged 20 to 79 suffer from diabetes mellitus, in 3% of cases neovascular glaucoma is diagnosed, threatening vision loss. Neovascular glaucoma is one of the most aggressive forms of secondary glaucomas and is often refractory to standard treatment methods. In domestic and foreign literature, there is no single standard for choosing the tactics of surgical treatment of patients with neovascular glaucoma against the background of diabetic retinopathy. In this regard, studies aimed at studying the morphofunctional parameters of eyes with neovascular glaucoma against the background of diabetic retinopathy acquire not only theoretical but also obvious practical interest. In the course of further development of methods for complex effects on eye structures to reduce intraocular pressure and progression of the glaucoma process. An analysis of optical coherence tomography images of 51 patients (51 eyes) was conducted, and the main aspects were identified for further use in choosing the tactics of surgical intervention.
