ESTIMATION OF EFFICIENCY THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH PROGRESSIVE MYOPIA
Study of efficiency of results of scleroplasty and conservative treatment in patients with progressive myopia. A comparative analysis of 100 patients with fast progressive myopia, which was carried out scleroplasty, and 100 patients with progressive myopia, which conservative treatment was carried out. The main evaluation criteria were: patient age, duration of observation, the refraction, the length of the eyes, the gradient progression according to refractometry (GPRm), and echobiometria (GPEBM). The progression of myopia seen in patients in both groups. The majority of patients were not observed any clinical effect after scleroplasty. In both groups GPRm and GPEBM decrease with age. In patients after scleroplasty myopia progression for the entire period of observing were significantly lower than in the control group, but scleroplasty did not lead to stabilization of myopia. To our opinion scleroplasty must be carry out only in cases of a fast progressive myopia.
