Objective. To study the role of connective tissue dysplasia and micronutrient sufficiency (calcium, magnesium) in the progression of myopia in children based on a comprehensive clinical, laboratory, and ophthalmic examination to optimize diagnosis and treatment. 
 

Materials and Methods: A comprehensive study of 41 children with progressive myopia, combined with clinical and phenotypic manifestations of connective tissue dysplasia. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmologic, clinical and laboratory studies to estimate the severity of connective tissue dysplasia by Beighton, Т. Milkovsky-Dimitrova, T. Kadurin. 
 

Results. Progressive myopia in children is associated with connective tissue dysplasia and micronutrient sufficiency. Structural and metabolic changes in the connective tissue components of the sclera cause degenerative-dystrophic process, contributing to the progression of myopia. 
 

Conclusion. Patients with myopia associated with internal and external manifestations of connective tissue dysplasia, we recommend a more complete clinical and ophthalmological examination, as well as its monitoring for timely diagnosis and treatment of progressive myopia. 
 

Keywords: connective tissue dysplasia, progressive myopia, micronutrient sufficiency, children.
