Clinical evaluation of adrenoreception was carried out in 96 patients with various clinical patterns of primary open-angle glaucoma POAG) with normalized intraocular pressure (IOP) by changes in vascular reactivity in the bulbar conjunctiva capillaries in response to epinephrine and norepinephrine. Neuro-vascular reactions of the bulbar conjunctiva in response to norepinephrine and epinephrine were different in patients with different patterns of POAG with normalized IOP. A significant correlation between the rate of progress of optic disk glaucomatous atrophy and the parameters of ocular adrenoreceptor structures of the eye was detected. LA: Russian
