Abstract

Experimental animal studies proved that by manipulating with the defocus one can slow down or speed up the eye growth. The leading mechanism among modern optical strategies of myopia progression treatment is to induce myopic defocus to retinal periphery or decrease the hyperopic defocus. This review sums up the data on peripheral refraction in orthokeratological, multifocal contact, and multifocal spectacle correction. The effectiveness of these methods in myopia control in children and teenagers is shown.

Summary

Introduction

Experimental animal studies proved that by manipulating with the defocus one can slow down or speed up the eye growth. В исследованиях разных авторов было показано преимущество ОКЛ в профилактике прогрессирования миопии по сравнению с группой контроля в монофокальных очках или контактных линзах.
