[A method of surgical treatment of progressive and complicated myopia]

The paper describes a modification of scleroplastic operation combining a vertical bandage with simultaneous covering of posteroexterior segment of the eye ball and creation of a "depo-tissue". As a grafting material, preserved human dura mater was used. By the proposed method, 97 operations were made in 67 patients with myopia from 6.0 to 32.0 D. In 30 patients, the surgical results were observed within 3 years. In all of the patients operated on, the stabilization of the process was recorded. The proposed modification is technically simple and accessible to a wide circle of ophthalmologists.
