[Our experience with the use of sclera-strengthening injections in the prevention of progressive myopia].
Sclera-fortifying injections have been administered to 108 patients (145 eyes) to prevent the progress of myopia. No complications have been associated with the manipulation. In the postoperative period cysts of the eyeball mucosa have developed in 4 cases because of foam gel getting under the conjunctiva. Late results have been followed up in 67 eyes in periods of 22-24 mos postoperation. Myopia has stabilized in 61% of cases, its progress has been inhibited in 21%. No positive effect has been achieved in 12 (18%) eyes.
