EFFECT OF ACUPUNCTURE ON THE FUNCTION OF THE VISUAL SYSTEM IN PATIENTS OF GLAUCOMA

At present, significant advances have been made in the surgical and conservative treatment of glaucoma. However, in patients with a prolonged course of the disease, even against the background of normalized intraocular pressure, progressive deterioration of visual functions occurs with the transitio...
