One of priority scientific trends of Scientific-clinical center at the State Medical University of Turkmenistan is the development of principally new approach to the solution of problems of children’s ophthalmology. Undoubtedly, the prophylaxis, diagnostics and treatment of such congenital diseases as miopia alta, squint, cataract, glaucoma, tumors and other eye diseases of children with use of the latest medical technologies lead to the decrease of invalidism of this category of patients, and as this result, health improvement of young generation.
In the children’s department, it was accurately arranged the diagnostics, treatment and prophylactic medical examination of children with ophthalmo-oncologic problems. In the last years, it is carried out scientific researches on study of crystallization of lacrimal fluid for differential diagnostics, control of dynamics of disease and efficiency of the treatment of tumors in visual organ of children.
Prevention of weak eyesight in preschool and school age is a key task of modern children’s ophthalmology, which successful solution provides a complex of preventive measures, being taken by children’s ophthalmologists jointly with employees of the department for eye diseases. Scientific-clinical center conducts systematic scientific work on topic: “Major trends of complex system of measures on prevention and restoration of accommodative and refractive disorder of children”. Within the framework of realization of research topic on visual impairments of children, it was published methodological recommendations, worked out a complex of preventive measures for pupils of primary school.
Within the last year, we have hold a cycle of training seminars with teachers of all primary schools of Ashgabat. In the course of seminars, the teachers mastered a complex of special exercises for training of accommodative apparatus of eye of pupils. It was also offered the recommendations on optimization of training process taking into account the age peculiarities. It was worked out and introduced the methodic program with 3D pictures and special eye exercises without no disturbance to the teaching process. Recommendations contain a five-minute pause for special exercises after 20 minutes since beginning of the lesson; at the end of work with computer (no more than 20 minutes) – a break for training of accommodation by means of 3D pictures during one minute. One of important conditions is the observance of hygienic rules on brightness of classrooms, correct seat of pupil at the desk and while work with computer, holding no more than four lessons a day; distribution of lessons according to their complicacy; organization of right nourishment.
In this stage, with a view of early detection of visual disorders of pupils, it was organized a regular training cycle of seminars for paramedical personnel at the secondary schools of the capital. For this, the school were provided additionally with all essential manuals.
It was examined the senior pupils of tens of schools of the capital. Examination of visual organ of children was conducted in accordance with single unified method, i.e. preliminarily trained medical personnel checked visual acuity, specified the persons, who need in deep examination. Deeper examination was provided for those children, who had visual disorders. For this, it was worked out a scheme of examination of children’s vision, containing a series of anamnestic data, information about conditions for studies of children, and result of investigation of visual acuity. Such approach helps to determine opportunely concrete measures for improvement of vision in every concrete case.
New and very important in this scheme is the matter on illnesses they had. The fact of the matter is that new research works appear year by year, where it is possible to find the indications of connection of visual disorders with common state of organism and several diseases. The results of researches confirm that higher routine of motion activity has multisided health-improving influence on whole organism of a child, develops muscular system and musculoskeletal system that contributes, in particular, to the maintenance of correct posture at the lessons, trains and forms such physical qualities as dexterity, quickness, endurance and positive features of individual.
