[Complex method for examining children with false myopia].

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Pediatric Eye Care
• Vision Science

Background:

• False myopia is a condition that can be mistaken for true myopia.
• Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and preventing vision impairment.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a complex diagnostic method for children with suspected false myopia.
• To differentiate false myopia from true myopia and assess its severity.

Main Methods:

• The proposed method integrates routine tests for spasm stability.
• Includes measurement of relative accommodation reserve and ophthalmic tone.
• Incorporates assessment of the eye's anteroposterior axis.

Main Results:

• The method successfully differentiates between false and true myopia.
• It allows for the evaluation of myopia degree.
• Facilitates the prescription of etiopathogenetic treatment.

Conclusions:

• The described complex method aids in accurate diagnosis of false myopia in children.
• It provides a basis for targeted treatment to prevent the progression to true axial myopia.
