Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of parental myopia on eye size and growth in Chinese children. METHODS: A school-based, cross-sectional survey was performed in Chinese children 5 to 16 years of age. A longitudinal cohort study was conducted 1 year later. The effects of parental myopia, parental education level, and near work performed by the child on the refractive error and ocular biometry of the child were...
