Immersion medium for carrying out volumetric echography of orbit in case of anophthalmia and subatrophy of eye and method of carrying out volumetric echography of orbit in case of anophthalmia and subatrophy of eye

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to ophthalmology and is intended for volumetric echography of orbit in case of anophthalmia or subatrophy of eye. For this purpose claimed is immersion medium which represents cross-linked polymer hydrogel based on modified polyvinyl alcohol of general formula: where R - H, R 1 - OH, R 2 - unsaturated group, R 3 - O-CO-R 4 , R 4 - CH 3 or residue of other acid, from polyvinyl ester of which polyvinyl alcohol was obtained, and m=80-99 mol %, n=0.5-15 mol %, k=0-12 mol %. Said emersion medium is used in echography method in form of 4-6 mm thick disc with size corresponding to opening into orbit. Disc is laid on anterior surface of closed eyelids. EFFECT: invention ensures optimisation of orbit content image with absence of complications, trauma of eye tissues, as well as reduction of examination time and absence of psychological trauma. 2 cl, 5 ex
