Following the clinical examination, and E.N. Graphic examination was done an subsequently the pendular rotation test was performed. In order to obtain a better statistical evaluation, the material was studied successively according to the age of the patients, the existence of arteriosclerotic lesions in the fundi, the type and duration of the disease, the unilateral of bilateral manifestations and the use of drugs. While the E.N.
