136 patients (272 eyes) with progressive myopia were examined. The biometric indexes refraction of the eye, corneal thickness, visual function were studied. It was established, that 54,8 % of patients with acquired myopia have had more thinning cornea in comparison with the control group: 8,8 % of patients — in the centre of the cornea, 29,1 % of patients — on the periphery and 16,9 % — in all segments. The corneal thickness has been decreased but the horizontal diameter of the cornea has been increased with the progression of the myopia.
