ABSTRACT
The authors refer results of 773 scleroplasty operations performed in 411 children, mean age was 11.3, S.D. 3.6 years. Irradiated human sclera proved to be the best material for scleral reinforcement. Mean myopia progression was 0.26 D/year in myopia progressiva and 0.23 D/year in myopia gravis. Mean visual acuity was better in all intervals after surgery (p = 0.0000 one and four years after, 0.0002 six years after in myopia progressiva, in the same intervals in myopia gravis it was 0.0009, 0.0027, 0.0002). Scleral reinforcement can positively influence myopia progression.
