[Combined method for treating false myopia and preventing axial myopia]

None of the numerous methods for optic and drug treatment of the accommodation cramp effectively arrests it without long tiresome training or atropine, which limits visual working capacity for a long time and therefore, precludes starting the treatment on an outpatient basis immediately. Use of an available, simple, and effective combined method for treating the accommodation cramp helped prevent true myopia in 94.3% of young children in the main group, whereas 38.3% children in the control group developed myopia.
