До настоящего времени не было публикаций, касающихся эпидемиологических исследований миопии в Польше, проведенных после Второй мировой войны. В связи с этим цель данной статьи – представить историю изучения распространенности миопии в Польше в послевоенные десятилетия. Для решения поставленной задачи были проанализированы источники литературы и архивные материалы. Установлено, что ведущими центрами, проводившими такие исследования, были Медицинский университет Померании в Щецине и Медицинский университет Силезии в Катовице. В статье приводятся данные о распространенности миопии и росте ее частоты в послевоенные годы в разных регионах Польши.

So far, no article concerning the history of epidemiological studies on myopia in Poland after World War II has been published. Therefore, the aim of the work is to present the history of epidemiological studies on myopia in Poland after World War II. In order to obtain answers to the research questions, studies of source and archival materials were conducted. It turned out that the leading centers in Poland conducting research on myopia were the Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin and the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice.
