Abstract
Background- Myopia is the most common refractive error of eye in school going children. There are many treatment option are available to prevent or treat the myopia but not yet well documented in physiotherapy.
Objective- To find out the effect of eye exercise on myopia in children aged between 10-15 years.
Study Design- A Randomized Clinical Trial
Study setting- The setting were MMIMSR, Mullana-Ambala and Ashirwad Eye Hospital, Yamunanagar-Ambala.
Participants- 50 subjects of both genders mean age of 12.86±1.48 years with diagnosed case of myopia were recruited through criteria based purposive sampling.
Method- Consent was taken, random allocation done in to two groups’ Experimental (Exp) group and Control (Ctrl) group. Pre intervention optical power and CISS were taken by Nidek ARK 700A and CISS scale respectively. Exp group receive Palming exercise, Eye warm-up exercise, Cross crawl and Tibetan Eye exercise for three weeks five days per week and 20 mins per day, Ctrl group was advised to use spectacles or contact lenses on regular basis for three weeks. After three weeks of intervention post Optical power and CISS were taken and analyzed.
Result- CISS score significantly reduced within both the group after treatment, but there was no significant change observed for optical power in ctrl group. However from end-point to follow-up a significant reduction in CISS occurred (P<0.001) in control group, and no significant change observed for optical power of RE and LE (P=0.13, 0.99 respectively). In contrast, the Exp group showed reduction of optical power (P<0.001), and CISS score (P<0.001).
