ABSTRACT
The article presents a device developed at the Chair of Otorhinolaryngology of the FSBI HVI North- Western State Medical University named after I. I. Mechnikov, providing the examination of vestibular system for registration of vestibulo-ocular reflex with the removal of fixation suppression. The authors describe the structure of the device, application method, its advantages over the prototype. The developed model of eye-glasses can be used for diagnostic tests and positional maneuvers as well as for videonystagmoscopy. The glasses are highly reputed among the doctors of the Chair of Otorhinolaryngology of the FSBI HVI North-Western State Medical University named after I. I. Mechnikov. The clinic members point out its usability, as well as the improved diagnostics quality. The use of the device in clinical practice makes it possible to improve diagnostics, to reduce the unjustified use of expensive examination methods, to prescribe the necessary treatment in a timely manner, thus improving the medical care quality.
