[A new method of scleroplasty in progressive myopia]

The author analyzes the results of sclera fortification carried out in 154 patients (220 eyes) with progressive myopia by the method he developed, consisting in transplantation of dry solid multilobar perforated transplant of silica-dried sclera that retained its natural configuration in the course of preservation. The method is simple, safe for the patients, since compression of vorticose veins and optic nerve is ruled out, easily tolerated, and yields a high stabilizing effect (97 percent) as evidenced by a follow-up of 1.5 do 3 years.
