Pneumoorbitography

Pneumoorbitography is a medical procedure used to diagnose and treat diseases of the eye and orbit. It consists of conducting an X-ray examination of the eyeball and its surroundings using special equipment. An air pulse is introduced through a microcannula into the eyeball, which allows an image of intraocular pressure and anatomical structures to be obtained.

This procedure can help diagnose diseases such as glaucoma, retinal detachment, ocular hypertension, and other diseases that can lead to vision loss. Pneumoorbinagraphy makes it possible to see the real anatomical structures of the eye, assess the condition of the optic nerve and its other structures, measure the level of intraocular pressure and detect signs of glaucoma.

Pneumoorbinography is a safe and painless procedure for the patient, and there is no risk of damage to eye tissue. After the procedure, the doctor can interpret the data obtained and prescribe appropriate treatment.

To carry out pneumoorbitography, special devices are used - X-ray tomographs of orbital images. They allow you to obtain images and visualize diseases of the intraocular system. Each tomograph has different capabilities and parameters, but they all cope well with the assigned tasks and are the main research tool for patients with pathologies of the orbit or periocular tissues.

The patient sits in a chair located behind the device, then his eyeball will be covered with a special sterile shield, onto which the operator applies a small amount of gel for better contact between the eye and the tomograph. The patient then sits down and starts the machine.

The inspection itself is very simple and takes about half an hour. There are also no restrictions on admission
