Comprehensive examinations for the detection of glaucoma.

In-depth diagnosis of glaucoma and treatment is carried out in clinics.

Obvious patients and people with high-risk factors are sent there.

Glaucomatous pathology is detected first of all by the state of the field of vision.

With the use of such equipment, preventive examinations are unrealistic.

They are time-consuming and time-consuming.

The idea of creating an automated complex for the early detection of glaucoma, which meets the task of medical examination of the entire population of the country, originated at the All-Union Institute of Medical Instrumentation.

Doctors of the Department of Eye Diseases of the 2nd Medical Institute named after Pirogov selected thousands of medical histories for mathematicians with indisputable conclusions: healthy, doubtful, glaucoma.

Each case history was entered into the computer.

Transfer of information to punched cards and magnetic media.

The computer analyzed numerous signs of glaucoma and selected 23 of the most valuable for early diagnosis.

These signs were included in the medical program for the early diagnosis of glaucoma, approved by the Ministry of Health of the USSR.

Programmers determine the algorithm of the program.

Medical histories arranged according to three criteria.

Healthy, doubtful, glaucoma.

Three clouds were formed from medical histories with the same diagnoses, in order to exclude errors, separating planes were built between the clouds.

The decisive rule was tested on hundreds of new medical histories with reliable diagnoses.

The diagnostic accuracy turned out to be quite high.

At the same time, the installation and fine-tuning of the diagnostic complex was underway.

Ophthalmologists are involved in the development of the examination program and medical testing of the complex.

The role of the doctor in the system is played by the Anamnesis device.

A survey is conducted on the computer.

Visual acuity check.

The computer gives an objective indicator of visual acuity.

The pre-medical examination ends with tonometry.

The examination data is sent to an analog machine, which informs the doctor of the preliminary diagnosis.

For healthy people, the examination is over.

If the conclusion is unfavorable or there are doubts, the doctor gets acquainted with the information from all devices and conducts additional research.

The results of these studies are entered into the computer.

The code key gives the doctor access to patient information.

Clinical trials of the complex have confirmed one of its essential advantages, patients with glaucoma, even at an early stage, can be differentiated from patients with hypertension.

The possibilities of the ophthalmological complex are not limited to the detection of glaucoma.

It can be used to detect other eye diseases.
