| Summary: |
The radiotherapy is worth
to remember in the most progression causes of AMD, when
there is no possibility for application the modern
methods of the treatment. We present cause of patient
with bilateral advanced changes and low visual acuity in
course AMD, who had applied rtg therapy and laser
fotocoagulation. The right eye was radiated with foton
beam energy 10 MeV using linear accelerator. Dosage of 9
Gy was delivered in 3 fractions through 5 days. In right
eye we observed increase of visual acuity from 2/50
before treatment to 3/50 after 12 months, and 0.1 after
the 48 months of radiation. The visual acuity in the
left eye decreased from 0.2 to 2/50 after the 48 months.
The improvement of acuity vision after rtg therapy
allowed the patient self-dependence life. |
