Statement of the Problem: In some diseases of the eye affects its nervous tissue. The retina and optic nerve are
unable to regenerate, which leads to their degeneration and visual impairment. Treatment of degenerative diseases of
the organ of vision is not effective enough, because modern medicine is not able to affect the cells and repair damage
occurring at the molecular level. The Nature has provided for effective self-defense of the organism - autorepair.
The task of therapeutic treatment is to stimulate the self-healing of anatomy and function of tissues affected by the
disease by restoring capillary blood flow in the tissues of the retina and optic nerve. The structure and function of the
capillaries are the same in all organs and systems. The purpose of this study is to describe the physical parameters of
blood circulation in the microvessels of the bulbar conjunctiva, evaluation of the rheological state of red blood cells,
to study of ultrastructural features of microvessels in normal and degenerative diseases of the retina and optic nerve.
Methodology: A special device was created to record the movement of blood through the microvessels of the bulbar
conjunctiva called "Capillaroscope OKO". The studied parameters of blood flow: the linear velocity of red blood
cells, the diameter of arterioles and venules, the presence of stasis and erythrocyte sludge, the presence of arteriolovenular
shunts, newly formed vessels, the value of arteriolo-venular ratio. Findings: Degenerative diseases of the
retina and optic nerve occur due to the deterioration of blood transport function, passing through the capillaries of
the visual analyzer. Microcirculation disorders are initiated by common pathological processes in the patient's body.
Conclusion & Significance: The method of computer capillaroscopy of the bulbar conjunctiva allows in the early
stages to identify violations of the microcirculation of the entire body of the patient, including the retina and the
optic nerve. Application of the General complex therapy of eye diseases allows to increase efficiency of the carriedout
treatment and to keep visual functions.
