DEGENERATIVE CHANGES OF CERVICAL VERTEBRAE IN PATIENTS WITH OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA

Abstract

We have examined 250 patients (456 eyes) with non- stabilized open-angle glaucoma and normalized intraocular pressure. In 242 (96,9%) cervical osteochondrosis was revealed. Patients were divided into two equal groups. The control group received traditional conservative therapy. Patients in the main group were administered treatment of cervical osteochondrosis. In the main group the positive effect was observed in 208 eyes (91,6%), and in the control group - in 125 eyes (55%).
