Regional drugs injection is а promising method of partial optic atrophy treatment. The therapy involves the introduction of drugs into the microcirculation region on the side of the affected organ, in the area corresponding to the topographic projection of the lymph node. Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of partial optic atrophy of various origins using regional combination therapy. Material and Methods: Complex therapy was applied in hospital environment of The S. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution in treatment of 38 patients (38 eyes) with partial optic atrophy of various origins. The patients were divided into two groups: group I (27 eyes), diagnosed with partial optic atrophy of glaucomatous origin, group II (11 eyes), diagnosed with partial optic atrophy of mixed genesis. Before and after treatment, all the patients passed standard ophthalmological examination, as well as optical coherence tomography (OCT).The parameters of the optic disk were assessed using Cirrus 5000 retinal tomograph by Carl Zeiss Meditecinc (Germany). Results: After 12 months of complex treatment, administered 2 times a year and included injections in the pterygopalatine fossa and submastoid region, in patients of group I the following indices were registered: an increase in visual acuity by 0.1-0.2, a decrease in relative scotoma number by13%, stability of the nerve fiber layer thickness and excavation of the optic disc. Total visual field expanded up to 220-335. After 12 months of treatment, administered 2 times a year in patients of group II the following indices were registered: an increase in visual acuity by 0.1-0.3, a decrease in relative scotoma number by 9%, stability of the nerve fiber layer thickness and excavation of the optic disc. The total visual field after treatment expanded up to 310-450. Conclusion: the application of complex therapy in treatment of patients with partial optic atrophy of various origins has positive effect on visual function.
