Zusammenfassung:Ischemic disorders of the retina and associated tissues of the posterior segment of the eye are treated by topical administration to the eye of an amount of a calcium channel blocking agent effective to increase blood flow to those tissues. Calcium channel blocking agents of Class I are especially useful, and among these a preferred agent is verapamil hydrochloride. On traite les troubles ischémiques de la rétine et des tissus associés du segment postérieur de l'oeil par l'administration topique à l'oeil d'une certaine quantité d'un agent bloquant les canaux calciques et augmentant efficacement l'irrigation sanguine de ces tissus. Les agents bloquant les canaux calciques de la classe I sont particulièrement utiles; l'agent préféré parmi ces composés est l'hydrochlorure de vérapamil.
