METHOD FOR CATEGORIZING PATIENTS WITH PERSISTING EPITHELIAL DEFECTS AND TORPID ULCERS OF CORNEA OF POSTINFECTIOUS AND NEUROPARALYTIC ETIOLOGY TO GROUPS OF LOW OR HIGH SEVERITY OF LESION

摘要

A method for categorizing the patients with persisting epithelial defects and torpid ulcers of cornea of postinfectious and neuroparalytic etiology to the groups of low or high severity of the lesion comprises biomicroscopy of the anterior ocular segment, the evaluation of the state of the edge of the defect, the sensitivity of cornea, the deepness of the lesion, the assessment of the time of lacrimal film rupture (Norn test). The template of the classification tree provided in Statistica 9.0 is used for plotting the classification tree.
