The study of the effectiveness and safety of vitamin-mineral complex «Focus Forte» for myopia treatment

Abstract

Purpose: the estimation of the results of a randomized study of the effectiveness of vitamin-mineral complex «Focus Forte» at myopia.Methods: this study included 60 young patients (in age from 16 to18 years, university students, full-time education) in the context of complex treatment within 2 months. Patients were randomized to receive the preparation (n=30) or into the control group (standard therapy, n=30). On the day «0» and the day «60» over 80 parameters of vision were measured using a special software package.Results: the comparisons of the studied parameters of vision on the day of «60» shown statistically significant differences in electrosen- sibility (O. R. 4.6, 95% C. I. 1.4-16, p=0,03), spatial contrast sensitivity (O. R. 9.0, 95% C. I. 1.5-17, p<0,006) and luminance sensitivity (O. R. 5.6, 95% DI 1.7-19; p=0,003) as well as a significant reduction of clinical symptoms of zinc deficiency and hypovitaminosеs A, C, E, B2 (p<0,001).Conclusion: «Focus Forte» helps to improve visual function among the students with myopia, helping to compensate for deficiency of vitamins and micronutrients, which is required for the physiological support of the molecular processes of vision.
