This research aims to assess the incidence of myopia and changes in refractive error and axial length over a decade.
Community-based cohort study
10-year follow-up
Measured refractive error
Assessed changes in axial length
Predominant refractive trend was a hyperopic shift
Incidence of myopia was low
Low progression rates of myopia observed over the decade
Abstract
In this community-based sample, the predominant refractive trend over 10 years was a hyperopic shift, while the incidence and progression of myopia were low.
