The effects of a visual training technique on changes in myopia, visual acuity, and psychological distress were studied in a controlled prospective study.
A group of 33 female students with myopia < or = 3.50 diopters (D) underwent visual training using an acoustic biofeedback technique. A group of 22 female students with myopia and a group of 27 students with emmetropia formed the two control groups, matched for school, age, sex, and refractive error. Manifest and cycloplegic refraction, visual acuity, personality profile (CPI), and psychological distress (SCL-90) were measured at the baseline (T0), at 10 weeks (T1), and after 12 months (T2).
At T2, myopia significantly progressed both in the treated and in the untreated students with myopia. Visual acuity improved only in the treated myopia group (despite refraction objectively being worse). No differences were found among the personality profiles in the three groups. All items indicative of psychological suffering improved in the group treated for myopia whose visual acuity was ameliorated.
The visual training technique led to no improvement in objective measures of visual acuity, but did lead to an improvement in one relatively subjective measure of visual acuity and a parallel improvement in psychological conditions. The students with myopia who were treated consequently had a greater sense of general well-being.
在一项对照前瞻性研究中，研究一种视觉训练技术对近视、视力和心理困扰变化的影响。
一组33名近视度数≤3.50屈光度（D）的女学生采用听觉生物反馈技术进行视觉训练。一组22名近视女学生和一组27名正视眼学生组成两个对照组，在学校、年龄、性别和屈光不正方面进行匹配。在基线（T0）、10周（T1）和12个月后（T2）测量显验光和睫状肌麻痹验光、视力、个性量表（CPI）和心理困扰（SCL-90）。
在T2时，治疗组和未治疗组的近视学生近视均显著进展。仅治疗组的近视患者视力有所改善（尽管客观验光结果更差）。三组的个性量表之间未发现差异。在视力得到改善的近视治疗组中，所有表明心理痛苦的项目均有所改善。
视觉训练技术并未使视力的客观测量指标得到改善，但确实使一项相对主观的视力测量指标得到改善，并使心理状况得到相应改善。因此，接受治疗的近视学生总体幸福感更强。
