We found a relationship between natal damage to the cervical spine, vertebral arteries and the development of myopia in children. In the process of rehabilitation treatment of patients with mild upper paraparesis and other manifestations of natal cervical inferiority, we were faced with the fact that in some of these children, who also had myopia, the severity of visual disturbances after neurological treatment became significantly weaker. This prompted us to conduct a special set of targeted studies and try to comprehend the findings.
