Abstract
Summary: Short-sightedness accounts for up to 25–30% of refractive errors, and according to the authors, over 40% among children of Primorskiy territory. We have analyzed the treatment results of 100 children with moderate and severe myopia having undergone a surgery in the pediatric eye department of Regional Clinical Hospital No. 2 from January 1 to December 31, 2019. In 90 children with anteroposterior length of the eye less than 25 mm, meridional scleral reinforcement of both eyes was performed. In 10 patients with anteroposterior length of the eye more than 25 mm, as well as previously operated on for myopia, scleral reinforcement was performed according to Snyder-Thompson. If there was exophoria of the 1st–2nd degree (25 cases), partial average myotomy of the lateral rectus muscles of the eyeball was performed, and 13 children with exophoria of the 3rd–4th degree had a recession of the lateral rectus muscle of the eye by 5 mm.
