The leading place in the structure of blindness and low vision is occupied by two diseases: primary open-angle glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. The combination of two diseases in one eye gives an even more severe prognosis for vision. Modern diagnostic equipment helps in accurate and early diagnosis of the disease by analyzing digital data of the optic nerve head and macular area of the retina according to the results of an optical coherence tomograph. A mathematical model for predicting the development of diabetic retinopathy and primary open-angle glaucoma according to the proposed mathematical criteria has been developed. The criteria represent the ratio of the integral area of the neuroretinal rim to the integral volume of the neuroretinal rim; the retinal thickness criterion and criterion of the primary open-angle glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy are calculated. A computer program has been developed. The algorithm of the program, which includes windows for entering digital data of the macular zone and parameters of the optic nerve head, is presented. The result of the program is the statement of the risk of developing combined pathology of the fundus in a particular patient.
