[Possibilities of the use of rigid and flexible ophthalmoendoscopes in the diagnosis and treatment of intraocular pathology].
The authors analyse the potentialities of the rigid and flexible fiber optics-based ophthalmoendoscopes, made in this country, in the diagnosis and treatment of impairments and diseases of the eyeball. The endoscopes have been employed during intraocular interventions in 18 patients with various abnormalities of the posterior segment of the eye. Comparison of the rigid (MD-71M) and flexible (OGE-1) endoscopes has shown the advantages of the latter design for intraocular surgery. Prospects in the use of ophthalmoendoscopy are outlined. The authors emphasize the possibility of surgery on a 'closed eye' with the use of a flexible endoscope in cases when the transparency of the anterior optic media is essentially reduced or absent; this limits the need in traumatic surgical interventions like the 'open sky'.
