“…The prevalence of myopia has been growing globally in recent years, reaching epidemic levels in some countries [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Myopia accounts for 12.38% of ocular disease, and is the second most common ocular disease among the Ukrainian population aged 18 years or older [1,4].…”

Background: Management of progressive myopia is a major issue in current optometry and ophthalmology in general. Refractive therapy with orthokeratology lenses (OKL) has become an increasingly popular technique for controlling the progression of myopia. Purpose: To assess the efficacy of orthokeratology lenses depending on the topography pupil size and lens optical zone (OZ) size. Material and Methods: Sixty children (117 eyes) with mild or moderate uncomplicated myopia were involved in this study. They underwent a comprehensive eye examination, corneal topography and pupillometry. Statistical analysis of correlations between the pupil diameter and axial elongation was performed. In order to conduct longitudinal surveillance of myopia, we compared two OKL designs, one with a conventional OZ diameter, and another with a smaller OZ diameter, for the efficacy of myopia control. Results: The pupil diameter was inversely correlated with the axial elongation both in mild myopes (r = -0.48, p < 0.001) and in moderate myopes (r = -0.7, p < 0.001). Patients showed slower axial length progression when treated with a 5.5-mm OZ lens design than with a conventional 6.0-mm OZ lens design. Conclusion: When examining a child with progressive myopia, it is important to pay attention to the photopic pupil size because the size may be a predictor of myopia progression and exert an influence on the choice of correction. Orthokeratology lenses with a smaller (5.5-mm) optical zone diameter are more effective for myopia control, which should be taken into consideration when selecting a lens design for children.

Most cases of blindness are reversible according to WHO. The wide distribution of visual impairments, in particular those related to eye injuries and retinal detachments (RD) in the world and in Ukraine, indicates the need to study the issues of organizing medical care for ophthalmic surgical patients in order to find out why all the possibilities of preserving the sight of the population are not used and to suggest ways improvement of the situation. The study was conducted with the aim of studying the staffing of ophthalmology departments for the implementation of urgent vitreoretinal surgical interventions for the population of Ukraine. Analyzed data from ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and PubMed scientific publications on vitreoretinal surgery, regulatory and legal acts of Ukraine, statistical data of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, WHO publications and guidelines, data from analytical reports of international organizations (in particular, the USAID project "Support for health care reform", 2019). It was established that the number of medical personnel (including ophthalmologists) per 10,000 population is gradually decreasing, which does not correspond to the growth trend of ophthalmosurgical pathology. The obtained results indicate insufficient monitoring of the situation by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Based on indirect evidence, we established the absence of vitreoretinal surgeons even in large regional hospitals of Ukraine. It was concluded that the correction of this situation can have a positive effect on the quantity and quality of the provided ophthalmic surgical care for eye injuries and RD. Keywords: eye injuries, blindness, retinal detachment, vitreoretinal surgery, ophthalmic care management.
