title: [Scleroplasty as a prophylaxis against blindness and asthenopia in children with progressive myopia].
abstract: Remote results from 1.5 to 5 years, after sclera-enhancing operations on occasion of myopia in 51 children, of them 17 with congenital, 13--early acquired and 21--school myopia, have shown stabilization of school myopia in 88.9%, congenital--in 87% and early acquired--in 75% of cases; a rise of visual acuity in school and early acquired myopia is observed in a greater number of cases, than in congenital myopia. Scleroplasty is one of main methods to prevent blindness and poor vision in children with myopia.
