First defined level of D-dimer in the tear fluid in order to assess regional fibrinolytic activity in patients with retinal vein occlusion. It is shown that normally the level of D-dimer in tear fluid significantly higher than in blood plasma. It has been found to have elevated levels of D-dimer tear fluid in patients with CRVO and BRVO, which may indicate the activation of fibrinolysis, as a component of the inflammatory response. In appointing the anticoagulant and fibrinolytic therapy have a tendency to normalization of D-dimer in the tear fluid.
