    Abstract:
    Biomechanical aspects of joint functioning of the accommodation system of the eye and the system regulating the discharge of intraocular fluid are considered proceeding from the concept of joint automated regulation. A multifunctional biomechanical model of the eye, created by the authors on the basis of numerous data and permitting them to quantitatively trace the relationships in the functions of the drainage and accommodation intraocular regulatory systems in health and in contusion subdislocation of the lens, is analyzed for various clinical situations. Theoretical and practical prerequisites for the development of novel methods for the diagnosis and treatment of primary open-angle and secondary phacotopic glaucoma are discussed, specifically, regulation of intraocular fluid discharge by purposeful shifting of the range of activity of the accommodation regulatory system. A detailed analysis of mutual functioning of the above ocular systems is practically important for clinical ophthalmology, for it accelerates the development of novel methods of diagnosis and pathogenetically-based therapy of a number of ocular diseases.
