Abstract

Мета. Оцінити ефективність вітамінної терапії при в лікуванні прогресуючої міопії у дітей. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of vitamin therapy in the treatment of progressive myopia in children. The І group consisted of 34 children (68 eyes), the ІІ group- 30 patients (60 eyes) with myopia. The control group - 18 relatively healthy children (36 eyes) without ophthalmological pathology. Vitamin therapy in the main group included Vitamin D 2000 IU/day, retinol 2000 IU/day, tocopherol 10 mg/ day for 2 months. The observation period was 12 months. The study of the level of retinol, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and tocopherol revealed a decrease in the patients of the main group by an average of 2, 2.2 and 2.9 times compared with the data of children of the control group (p<0.05). After treatment, these indicators increased by an average of 1.6, 1.3 and 1.8 times (p<0.05). In patients of groups I and II, the Δ of clinical refraction and Δ of axial eye length during the year of observation were -0.31 [0.19;-0.75] dptrs and 0.28 [0.10; 0.47] mm and 0.75 [-0.25;-1.13] dptrs and 0.61 [0.17; 0.96] mm, respectively (p<0.05). The most stable were the average data of clinical refraction and axial eye length in children who used vitamin therapy.
