Ultrasonic biometry of slightly myopic children eyes

Abstract

The aim of our work has been to determinate changes of optical-anatomical elements of 1⁰ myopic eyes during accommodation using precise ultrasonic biometry.
The first group 6-10 years old children (n=23) and the second group 11-15 years old children (n=75) eyes were investigated. There was no changes in anterior chamber depth, lens thickness and vitreous length during accommodation. After medicamental threatment (spasmolitic solution) accommodation of the eyes was restored and lens changes reached to 0.31mm (p<0.001) in the first group and to 0.32mm (p<0.001) in the second group.
Ultrasonic biometry is one of objective methods to investigate possibilities of eyes accommodation and to evaluate the effectiveness of the chosen method of treatment to restore accommodation function.
