METHOD OF TREATMENT FAILURE basal secretion TEARS

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: invention concerns ophthalmology and aims at treating the patients suffering from deficiency in basal lachrymal secretion, i.e. with dry eye syndrome. Accessory lachrymal glands are stimulated with helium-neon laser light. That is transcutaneous pulse radiation of frequency 1 Hz, radiation pulse power 1.2 mWt and power flux density 0.513 mWt/cm², daily exposition 2 minutes, 5-10 sessions in all. A projection of the whole area of each conjunctival fornix is irradiated alternately.;EFFECT: method ensures normalisation of microvascular blood flow, higher number of goblet cells, normalisation of size thereof, disappeared signs of conjunctival inflammation, improved functioning of tear-producing apparatus, rapid increase in tear production and prolonged effect.;2 ex
