Abstract:AIM: To explore the effect of the visual physiological finger exercise on prevention of teenage with myopia.
METHODS:Totally 200 patients from 7 to 14 years, who were low myopia after medicinal powder pupil, had no physiological diopter, with or without horizontal heterophoria <8△, were chosen and randomly divided into two groups, with 100 patients in each group. Both of two groups were dilated pupil and examine eyesight, whose diopter ≥-1.00D wear myopia glasses, the other diopter<-1.00D without any glasses. At the same time, observation group was treated with visual physiological finger exercise, two times a day, each time 3-4 minutes, however the control group without intervention. The visual acuity, myopia diopter, ocular axis, eye position and horizontal heterophoria were measured before and at 1 year after intervention.
RESULTS: The observation group of myopia diopter and ocular axis were lower than that of control group(P<0.05). There were 10 exophoria patients implicit gradient has improved. There were 2 original no heterophoria patients occur esophoria. The control group did not appear exophoria patients implicit gradient improvement nor esophoria patients.
CONCLUSION: The visual physiological finger exercise can prevent and control teenage myopia,and at the same time can be improved to some extent exophoria.
