Electrooculogram

Electrooculography is a method for studying the electrical activity of the eye, which is used to diagnose various eye diseases and determine the state of the visual system. This method is based on measuring the electrical potentials that occur in the eye in response to light stimuli.

An electrooculogram (EOG) is a graphical representation of the electrical activity of the eye muscles in response to various stimuli. It allows you to evaluate the electrical activity of the eye muscles, which can be useful for the diagnosis and treatment of various eye diseases, such as glaucoma, retinal detachment, cataracts, etc.

The main advantages of EOG are:

– High diagnostic accuracy;
– The ability to assess the electrical activity of both individual eye muscles and the entire visual system as a whole;
– Non-invasiveness of the method;
– Speed ​​and ease of research.

However, like any other diagnostic method, EOG has its limitations. For example, it cannot be used to diagnose diseases that are not associated with the electrical activity of the eye muscles. EOG may also be ineffective in diagnosing certain diseases, such as retinal detachment.

Overall, EOG is an important tool for diagnosing and monitoring various eye diseases. It allows you to obtain more accurate and complete information about the state of the visual system, which can help in choosing the right treatment and improving the quality of life of patients.

"Electrooculogram" - Electrographic image of eye movements. To carry out E., special equipment is used: electroretinograph; electroencephalograph; function generator, etc. As a result of the study, one or more graphs are formed that characterize the frequency and amplitude of oscillations of the muscle tissue of the eye with closed and open eyes, the presence of speech sounds or the absence thereof. E.'s research allows us to determine the individual lability of the child's visual apparatus and give recommendations to parents on choosing favorable conditions for studying with their child in a preschool institution.
