Type: article

Abstract: A comparative analysis of the clinical and functional results of the treatment of progressive myopia in 92 children (178 eyes) was carried out: The first group (control) consisted of 66 children (127 eyes) before and after surgical procedures and the second group (main group) – 26 children (51 eyes) before and after scleroplastic operations and the use of orthokeratological lenses. The average age of the patients was (13.6 ± 2.1) (from 9 to 17) years. Follow-up periods are in 1, 2 and 3 years. The best results on reduction of the annual gradient of myopia progression were noted after 3 years in the patients of the main group on the change of the anteroposterior size of the eye and by changing the refractive index (p = 0.011). The use of scleroplasty and of orthokeratological lenses was the most effective tactic for the treatment of progressive myopia in children.
