The efficiency of the enzyme therapy was studied in patients with hemophthalmos concurrent with diabetes mellitus of different types. Sixty-eight patients received parabulbar injections of the hemase and collelizin enzymes and another 25 patients underwent the routine therapy comprising injections of dicynone, emoxipin and heparinum. The method of ultrasound B-scanning was used to determine the area of hemorrhage spread into the vitreous body. A high efficiency of the enzyme therapy, as used within the complex treatment of hemophthalmos in patients with diabetes mellitus, was demonstrated. Ultrasound B-scanning is a highly informative technique in evaluating the enzyme-therapy efficiency. The enzyme therapy can be recommended as the most effective method for the treatment of hemophthalmos in patients with diabetes mellitus.
