Objective: Clinical assessment of chorioretinal hemodynamics in women at risk for vascular retinal pathology before and after long-term courses of preventive care. Methods : 60 women having undergone preeclampsia during pregnancy were exam‑ ined. The 1st group of patients (30 people) got courses of medicamentous correction of endothelial dysfunction: sulodexide, ginkgo biloba (Tanakan), ascorbic acid. The 2nd group (30 women) did not get preventive care. The control group included 30 women having undergone physiological pregnancy (vaginal delivery, without complications). Parameters of chorioretinal hemodynamics were determined 6–8 months later and 3–4.5 years later after delivery. Results : By the end of the follow-up, in the 1st group, the blood flow velocity in the posterior short ciliary arteries statistically significantly increased; the density of the retinal vessels and subfoveolar thickness of the choroid and the area of the avascular zone of the retina decreased. Conclusions : The long-term medicamentous correction of endothelial dysfunction reduces the risk of vascular pathology development in women having undergone preeclampsia during the pregnancy.
