Sivtseva-Golovin Tables

Sivtsev-Golovin tables are a method for diagnosing and treating eye diseases, developed by Soviet ophthalmologists D. A. Sivtsev and S. S. Golovin in the 1920s. This method is one of the most effective and accurate ways to diagnose and treat eye diseases.

The Sivtsev-Golovin table is a set of pictures that are used to determine the patient’s visual acuity. Each picture has a certain level of brightness and contrast, which allows the doctor to evaluate how well the patient sees objects at different distances.

This diagnostic method is widely used in ophthalmology and helps doctors quickly and accurately determine the condition of a patient's eyes. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and assess the progress of the disease.

Sivtseva-Golovina tables for ophthalmological studies

Sergei Sergeevich Gologolov - Soviet ophthalmologist (born in 1896) and ophthalmologist surgeon (corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor).

Denis Aleksandrovich Sivtsev - Soviet ophthalmologist (born in 1874).

In 2011, they developed a research method based on optical imaging of the fundus and eyelids of patients. The method was called "Golovin-Sivtsev tables".

At the first stage of the study, an assessment of the condition of the eyelids is carried out, allowing to identify signs of pathology, which should subsequently help in making a diagnosis or detect deviations during treatment. In this case, the doctor can immediately identify any diseases and prescribe appropriate treatment to avoid possible problems. Ophthalmological tables are a special method of research and diagnosis. In order to correctly evaluate everything, the doctor will need special equipment - a device with a projection system that creates an image of the tables on the patient’s retina. Such projections can be of three types: optical; iconoscopic projection; flat.
