  • Title: [Health resort treatment of eye diseases caused by ischemia].
    Author: Nizankowska H, Ogielska E, Diłaj I.
    Journal: Pol Tyg Lek; ; 47(20-21):445-6. PubMed ID: 1437763.
    Abstract:
    The authors discuss the results of ophthalmodynamometric tests used for the assessment of cerebro-retinal vessels reactivity following carbon dioxide baths and "peat collars". An analysis of systemic and local blood pressure in the ophthalmic artery measured with Weigelin and Lobstein technique enables to assess changes in blood pressures following a/m balneologic procedures. It was found that blood pressure does not change parallelly due to the mechanism of cerebral autoregulation. Transient decrease in blood pressure in the ophthalmic artery is produced by the dilatation of the internal carotid artery indicating a potent vasodilating action of carbon dioxide.
