Summary:The complex therapy in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, with normalized intraocular pressure but with declined visual functions included the use of the Russian neurometabolic preparation pantogam. The improvement of the visual function appeared as enlargement of the borders of visual fields, decreased area and sensitivity deficit (according to computer perimetric data). Doppler ultrasonography has demonstrated an increase in the mean blood velocity in the orbital vessels and a decrease in eyeball blood supply defects after pantogam therapy which is a favourable sign of a glaucomatous process. The authors consider the use of pantogam to be rational in the complex therapy of patients with glaucoma.
