ABSTRACT

AIM:To observe the effect of wearing glasses with full correction or under-correction on the development of juvenile myopia. METHODS:This study included 132 cases ( 264 eyes ) from January 2008 to September 2012 who were collected from our clinic. They were divided into 2 groups, full correction and under- correction. Students in group 1 wore glasses with full correction, students in group 2 wore glasses with under-correction 0. 25D to 0. 5D lower than normal. Reexamination was done every 6mo. After 12mo, refractions were checked, the development of myopia was compared. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences between two groups after 6mo ( P=0. 0693 );however, there were significant differences after 12mo( P=0. 0013). CONCLUSION:The development of myopia is slow if students often wear glasses with full correction.
