title: [Effectiveness of posterior scleroplasty in progressive myopia in children].
abstract: The authors evaluated the long-term results of posterior scleroplasty in a group 51 children (74 eyes) with progressive myopia followed up 2-4 years after surgery. Stabilization of myopia developed in the axial length of the bulbus in 78% of the children and in objective refraction in 85% patients. In 15-22% of the patients myopia progressed but only by 0.4 D per year. No serious complications were observed or after operation. The authors draw attention of ophthalmic surgeons to scleroplasty because in has a marked effect on the preventive of progressing severe myopia and thus for the long term preservation of satisfactory visual functions.
