The pathology of vision is quite common. Vision may worsen during pregnancy due to large metabolic changes and physical stress in childbirth. Many women now decide on surgical methods of vision correction. To identify the pathology of vision and the dynamics of changes, every pregnant woman should twice during pregnancy examine the optometrist and make recommendations on whether a woman can exert herself, whether it is necessary to shorten attempts or exclude them. After the conclusion of the ophthalmologist obstetricians together with the woman make a choice of tactics of delivery. If a shortening of the exertional period is required, it is sufficient in the second period to apply perineotomy or an episiotomy (perineal incision). If it is necessary to exclude attempts, it is possible to choose an operative intervention: the imposition of obstetric forceps or caesarean section. Currently, most often in a planned manner, a cesarean section. With a common pathology of vision - myopia - the birth is usually (with a mild degree of myopia - 3-4 diopters). With medium degree myopia (5-7 diopters), perineal incision is used. With myopia of high degree (8 and more diopters) - obstetric forceps or caesarean section. This is also recommended after a recent surgery to correct vision.

If these recommendations are not followed, there may be a significant visual impairment and, in rare cases, even its loss. With nephropathy and diabetes, there may be a threat of detachment of the retina during pregnancy, especially if the birth is improperly administered. With increasing intraocular pressure (glaucoma), the use of atropine, methacin, beta-adrenomimetics is contraindicated, which are used very often in obstetrical practice and can increase the eye pressure VK. init ({apiId: 2853295, onlyWidgets: true});.
