DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATIVE METHODS OF TREATMENT

Physiotherapeutic methods of eye diseases treatment are widely used and demonstrate their ability to replace pharmaceuticals and surgical intervention.
In Kaluga subsidiary we use such methods of physiotherapeutic treatment as:

Magnetic stimulation by alternating magnetic fields.
Therapetic treatment with the help of magnetic fields produces vaso-dilating, spasmolytic, decongestive and immunostimulating effect.
Indications:
partial optic nerve atrophy
retinal dystrophy
retinal abiotrophy
myopia and accomodation disturbance
amblyopia

Contra-indications:
magnetic foreign bodies inside the eye
predisposition to recidivating bleeding
noncompensatory glaucoma
oncological diseases
convulsive activity

Direct and indirect pulse electrical stimulation (electrostimulator "Serdolic").
Pulse currents rending rhytmic and stimulating action on muscular and nervous fibers are used for stimulation, they activate blood circulation and exchange process. Applying of electric stimulation in complex with the use of magnetic fields considerably increases the efficiency of treatment.
Indications:
optic nerve atrophy
retinal dystrophy (dry forms)
primary open-angle compensatory glaucoma
neurogenous keratitis
children's amblyopia
myopia of high degree

Contra-indications:
brain tumors and other oncological diseases
post-infarction period
epileptic syndrome
purulent process in orbit
noncompensatory glaucoma

Low-power laser therapy.

Laser energy reduces pain and inflammation, provides tissue healing and antibacterial action. It is effective on improving the microcirculation, relieving the edema and stimulating the process of immnological defence. It is possible to use low-power laser therapy in complex with electrostimulation and laserophoresis.

Low-power laser therapy includes:

intravenous laser exposure

nadvennoye laser exposure

laser reflexotherapy

local laser action on the eye and paraorbital area

Indications:

epithelial and endothelial corneal dystrophy and other chronic corneal diseases

iridocyclitis

uveitis

dry macular degeneration

myopia

Contraindications:

cardio-vascular diseases at the stage of decompensation

oncological diseases

epileptic syndrome

infectious diseases

Other methods:

bioresonance phototherapy to treat amblyopia

methods of visual functions stimulation using computer programs to treat squint and amblyopia

electrophoresis, phonophoresis, magnitophoresis, laserophoresis
