Ophthalmoreography

Ophthalmoreography is a method for studying blood flow in the vessels of the eye and optic nerve. This method is used to diagnose various diseases of the eyes and optic nerve, such as glaucoma, retinal detachment, optic nerve atrophy, etc.

Ophthalmoreography is based on recording changes in the electrical resistance of the scalp in the area of ​​the eye and brow ridges. In this case, electrodes are applied to the scalp, and then changes in electrical resistance are recorded as blood flow changes in the vessels of the eyeball and optic nerve.

To carry out ophthalmic rheography, it is necessary to use special equipment - a rheograph, which records changes in the resistance of the scalp. The rheograph can be either stationary or portable.

The results of ophthalmic rheography can be used to assess the condition of the vessels of the eye and optic nerve, as well as to determine the effectiveness of the treatment.

In general, ophthalmoreography is an important method for diagnosing and monitoring the condition of the vessels of the eyeball and optic nerve in patients with various eye diseases.

Ophthalmic rheography is a method for measuring the amplitude of ocular contractions, based on recording the bioelectric potentials of the cornea, which was first developed in the middle of the 20th century by K.G. Orlov and G.A. Zakharyin.

The history of ophthalmoreography begins with the advent of electrical stimulation of the visual analyzer V.F. Filatov, who in his works described its role in the mechanisms of vision. After this, in 1926 N.N. Lapaev proposed to study the visual cortex and retina by recording flashes of light not in the eye, but on the surface of the eye
