ABSTRACT
The authors give an account of the results assembled in 181 patients (350 eyes) where scleroplasty in Pivovarov's modification was performed. 81.4% of the operations were indicated in myopia gravis, 91% in myopia progressiva and 5.1% in combination of myopia gravis and cataract. Of four implantation materials used the irradiated human sclera proved best. Scleroplastic operations had a favourable effect on the subsequent course of myopia gravis and myopia progressiva (followed up to four years). In both these diagnoses during the postoperative period a statistically significant improvement of visual acuity was observed, while the correction changed only slightly. Scleroplasties are a suitable surgical procedure in adults who suffer from progressing or severe myopia and give them real hope of preservation of visual functions.
