title: [Evaluation of bioelectric function of the retinal pigment epithelium in medium grade myopia].
abstract: Presented are results of examination of the hyperosmotic response in 30 persons (60 eyes) aged 12-13 years with axial myopia of a medium degree (-4.0 to -8.0 D sph). Disturbances of the bioelectric function of the retinal pigment epithelium was detected. In hyperosmotic response pathological records were received in 50 p.c. of the examined eyes. This examination has a diagnostic significance and may have a prognostic value in the analyzed stage of the axial myopia.
