The prevalence of myopia is increasing significantly worldwide, so the aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of ophthalmic biometric parameters in individuals with myopia and nosogenies. 200 people with myopia were examined, among them: 25 people without nosogenies; 23 patients with dysthymia, 8 people with other persistent personality changes; 60 patients with neurasthenia. All examined were subjected to: visiometry, refractokeratometry, measurement of intraocular pressure. Regardless of the features of nosogenies, all patients have differences in the visiometric corrections of Sphere (D) and Cylinder ax°. However, there are also features: in people with dysthymia – uncorrected distance visual acuity, refractometry of Sphere (D) and Cylinder (D), ocular pressure, keratometry R2 (D); with other persistent personality changes – uncorrected distance visual acuity, visiometric correction of Cylinder (D). Factors affecting uncorrected visual acuity in all myopic individuals include: Sphere (D) refractometry in normal conditions and Cylinder (D) in cycloplegia, age, gender, ergopathic type of attitude to the disease, neuroticism, psychopathy, length of the anterior-posterior axis of the eye, keratometry of the weak meridian in (D), the smallest corneal curvature (mm), emotional stability, depression, corneal thickness at the central point, hypochondria, health, compared to the previous year. These factors should be taken into account when developing correction programs for individuals with myopia.
