title: [The efficacy of transcutaneous electrostimulation of the visual system in partial optic atrophy].
abstract: Effects of transcutaneous electric stimulation of the eyes on vision acuity, visual field, electric sensitivity, electric lability, Hanzfeld ERG and macular ERG were studied in 260 patients with partial atrophy of the optic nerve of various origins and with different degrees of visual function loss. Dispersion analysis of random samples showed that changes in each characteristic after electric stimulation depended on the initial value of this parameter: in general, the more manifest were deviations from the norm, the more marked was the improvement of this or that function. A conclusion is made on physiological nature of electric stimulation method used for the treatment of optic nerve atrophy.
