New Qualitative Methods for Assessing the “Fluid” in the Retina in Age-Related Macular Degeneration by M. V. Budzinskaya, A. A. Plyukhova

“…In the modern world there are transition from quantitative assessment of “fluid” according to optical coherence tomography (OCT) — the thickness of the central retinal zone, to qualitative — the presence of IRF, SRF, fluid under RPE. The data obtained by Zinkernagel have shown that, despite good functional results (an increase in visual acuity), the administration of the drug once every 2 months leads not only to fluctuations in IRF and SRF, but also to serous PED [4]. …”

Ischemia of the Eye on the Background of Primary Hypothyroidism and Primary Thyrotoxicosis by V. G. Likhvantseva, E. V. Korosteleva

“…The obtained plethysmography data confirm that even in the absence of endocrine ophthalmopathy in patients with primary untreated hypothyroidism and primary untreated thyrotoxicosis, deep hemodynamic disturbances in the major vessels of the eye develop leading to ischemia of its anterior and posterior parts, which can lead to hydrodynamic disturbances in the eye, sensitivity of the visual analyzer to ischemia and hypoxia and to promote the development of secondary optic neuropathy. …”
