[Scleroplasty results in progressive myopathy with the use of allogeneic amnion].
The paper analyses results after surgical intervention in 105 patients with progressive myopia (113 eyes), using allogeneic amnion for the period of two last years. Myopia remained stable in 62 eyes, and among the fellow non-operated eyes--only in 8. Visual acuity with correction rose in 50 and remained unchanged in 54 eyes. This can be regarded as a positive result when it concerns progressive myopia. Allogeneic amnion is an accessible, reliable, simple in working up material for scleroplasty. The operation described can be made under local anesthesia both in adults and children.
