[The impulse electromagnetic field in the treatment of dystrophic lesions of the retina].
The paper describes a new method proposed for treatment of dystrophic changes in the retina by means of impulse electromagnetic field and a device for its realization. It was used as an independent method of treatment in 283 eyes (177 patients) with macular dystrophies of a sclerotic genesis. The treatment has shown a positive influence on the pathologic process in the eye, its stabilization after treatment. In 152 eyes, visual acuity remained unchanged, in 131--improved. Stabilization of the process was accompanied by authentic improvement of rheographic and electrophysiologic indices. In 72 eyes, the results of treatment were followed up for 6 years, the effectiveness of the method was confirmed. Long-term observations have shown the necessity to repeat the course of treatment each 3-5 months (within a year) to prevent progression of the dystrophic process.
