Microciculation in periocular area of elderly cataract patients with chronic cardiac insufficiency

A set of parameters of microcirculation in the periocular area was studied in elderly cataract patients with chronic cardiac insufficiency. It was demonstrated that chronic left ventricular insufficiency worsen damage of microcirculation attributed to aging processes. Increasing perfusion pressure in microcirculation network of periocular area is leading to higher rate of postsurgical complications in elderly cataract patients.
