To estimate the probability of progressive myopia by the state of the investigated morphometry and functional parameters of the eyes in children with acquired myopia, there were examined 135 children (270 eyes) with bilateral acquired myopia (2.0—14.0 diopters) at the age of (6—17), the difference in refraction between the eyes did not ex­ceed 1.5 diopters.

Besides visometry, refractometry, biometry the children were examined for thickness of the retina in the internal and outer ring of the macula, the layer of the nerve fibers of the peripapillar zone of the retina (TLNFPZR) in four sectors and parameter of the disk by the optical coherent tomograph Copernicus, of the firm Optopol Technology Sp.z.o.o., production of Poland.

The mathematical model, which allows with accuracy of 80.6% to make a differential diagnostics of progressive and stable myopia in children with acquired myopia, is developed on the basis of discriminant analysis. It is estab­lished that in children with myopia with the value of TLNFPZR of the retina in the zone of 3 mm of more than 246 mc the probability of progressive myopia makes up 77.3%, with the value of refraction of more than 4.5 diopters the probability of progressive myopia makes up 93.75%, and with APA it is over 25.3mm
