title: [Organizational aspect of medical care rendered to children with abnormal refraction under the conditions of school education].
abstract: The main purpose of the case study was to investigate the efficiency of different-method treatment of children with abnormal refraction. One hundred and fifty children were examined and shared between 3 experimental and one control groups. Routine ophthalmic examination methods were made use of; they are: visometry, autorefractometry, ophthalmobiometry, determination of the scope of relative accommodation, biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy; additional examinations, like rheoencephalography and consultation by neurologist, were also used. It was for the first time that the efficiency of infrared pneumomassage and of color-pulse therapy in the treatment of abnormal refraction was dynamically studied under the conditions of school education (vision correction rooms). The amplitude of relative accommodation increased in 71.6% of cases and the acuity of vision--in 78.8% of cases after the main treatment course; the refraction stabilized in 25-30% of cases. The results declined in 25-30% of cases after 3-4 months, therefore, treatment courses need to be repeated 3 times per year. Besides, positive results were obtained in the treatment of abnormal refraction by punctate massage of biologically active points, by general exercise and exercise for eyes as well as by massage of the collar zone and by medicamental therapy. Indications and contraindications were defined for the complex treatment of accommodation cramp and of abnormal refraction.
