title: [The late results of Murmamedov-Atameredova's modified scleroplasty in children].
abstract: Late results (a follow-up of 3 to 4 years) of 87 scleroplastic interventions according to Nurmamedov-Atameredova are analyzed. Scleroplasty in the authors' modification was carried out in children with progressive myopia aged 8 to 14. The technique is simple and low-traumatic. The process was stabilized in 39 (44.8%) eyes, in the rest eyes (n = 48, 55.2%) myopia still progressed after surgery with an average rate of 0.7 diopters a year; this progress was most frequent after high myopia or in children whose both parents suffered from myopia. Such scleroplasty technique is therefore not recommended for this patient population.
