[New treatment possibilities of progressive school myopia].
It is reported about the experience of stopping the progredience of the myopia of pupils by lowering the intraocular pressure by a beta-blocker (Metipranolol). Our observation bases on twenty patients, eighteen of whom didn't show any increase of the refraction during the treatment. With this brief communication we want to propose further verification of our results.
