Most recent experimental results concerning the pathomechanism of myopia are discussed. Anatomical, physiological, and biochemical changes taking place in the eye with experimental myopia are described. Special attention is focused on the following substances inhibiting the progress of experimental myopia: apomorphine, reserpine, 6-hydroxydopamine, atropine, pirenzepine, chlorpyrifos, alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid, kainic acid, naloxane, formoguanamine, gentamicin, sodium iodate, central and peripheral antagonist of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, basic fibroblast growth factor. The possibilities of the above-mentioned pharmacological agents in the progressive myopia treatment are indicated.
