為了研究望遠凝視及眼球運動在預防及控制近視的進行效果。我們研究台北市敦化國小學生737人,忠孝國小學生426人。分成兩組,一組接受望眼凝視法及眼球運動每天三次,另一組並未接受特別治療者當做對照組。結果發現經過一年半實驗組與對照組在屈折度的改善並未有差異性。另外除去正視及遠視者,實驗組與對照組仍未有意義的差別。
In order to evaluate the effect of far-gazing and eye ball excercise on prevention and control of myopia progression, a clinical study was conducted. Two primary school in Taipei (one 737 chiedren, the other 426 childrew) were enrolled in the study and seperated randomly into two groups. Group Ⅰ, who all performed the far-gazing practice and eye ball excercise three times a day under the instruction of the teachers who had been trained to teach the excercise procedure. Group Ⅱ, didnot practice any specific eye ball excercise and served as the control group. The study lasted for one and half year. After 1(1/2) year, the result were not encouraging. No significant difference of the change of refraction was noted between group 1 and group 2; if emmetropic and hyperopic children were excluded, there was still no significant difference of refractive change. To confrim whether the exercise was effective or not, a longer follow-up period and doing the exercise more frequently, particularly at end of each near work, should be considered.
