title: [Ophthalmodynamometry. Current aspects].
abstract: In the paper we have pointed out the importance of ocular pressure in diagnosis of vascular-cerebral diseases. We have insisted upon the difficulties of interpreting the values of ocular pressure. The correlations between the maximum, medium and minimum values of ocular pressure are presented. We have also carried out a systematization of the four possibilities of altering the arteries resistance in the carotid system and pointed out the pathological situations which can determine changes of the ocular pressure. Presenting the method limitations we have emphasized the importance of the method in clinical practice.
