EFFICACY OF CITICOLINE IN COMBINED TREATMENT OF RHEHMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT

Results of treatment in 150 patients with rhehmatogenous retinal detachment with full retinal reattachment after operation were studied. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed changes 2 times less in 50 patients who received citicoline during 28–35 days after the operation than in the control group. There was detected normalization of electrically evoked potentials in this patients, absence of methamorphopsia in half of them (21% in control group), and high functional results: visual acuity more than 0.3 was achieved in 62% of patients, which is 2.6 times higher than in the control group.
