The paper analyses results after treatment of 280 patients (467 eyes) with different forms of vascular optic neuropathies. Considering the method of treatment, the patients were divided into 5 groups. In group I--only traditional methods of treatment were used; in group II--inhalations of a 5% carbogen, 15 minutes 1-2 times a day, were added; in group III--hyperbaric oxygenation, 6-10 sessions, was added; in group IV--a blockade of sino-carotid zone by a 2% novocaine, 5 ml, 10 days, was added; in group V--a twenty-four-hour intracarotid infusion of medicinal preparation, 5-7 days, was made. The highest improvement of visual functions was recorded in group IV (90.2%), the lowest--in group I (41%). A conclusion is made that it is necessary to create wards of intensive therapy or vascular centers with a specially trained staff and a necessary store of infusional and other medicamentous preparations.
