Myopia prevention and treatment of schoolchildren through rehabilitation of ocular accommodation function.
In order to find an optimal method of myopia treatment in schoolchildren, we performed in 1993-2010 30 000 measurements of relative accommodative reserve, a parameter that most closely correlates with the development of myopia. It was established that intensive near visual activity causes disorders in the autonomic nervous system of the eye followed by damaged accommodation and metabolism. A method to restore the accommodation function was developed, which can be used to stop the progression of myopia and restore the performance of the eye. The results have been confirmed in the treatment of 80 schoolchildren over the 4-year follow-up period. // Russian Ophthalmological Journal, 2011; 3:41-46.
