..To describe corneal and crystalline lens dimensions before, during, and after myopia onset compared with age-matched emmetropic values...

..Additional factors investigated were the influence of early astigmatism on emmetropization and its relation to corneal and lenticular toricity...

..To evaluate the contribution made by the ocular components to the emmetropization of spherical equivalent refractive error in human infants between 3 and 9 months of age...

..To evaluate accommodative lag before, during the year of, and after the onset of myopia in children who became myopic, compared with emmetropes...

..To evaluate refractive error, axial length, and relative peripheral refractive error before, during the year of, and after the onset of myopia in children who became myopic compared with emmetropes...

..We attempted to replicate these findings and to conduct a candidate gene and locus evaluation of genetic involvement in common forms of myopia...

..Time spent outdoors, not near work, may be the more important environmental variable in myopia. The effect of time outdoors shows an important interaction with a substantial genetic contribution to the risk of myopia...

..To investigate whether relative peripheral hyperopia is a risk factor for either the onset of myopia in children or the rate of myopic progression...

..Longitudinal data suggest that time outdoors may be protective against myopia onset. We evaluated the hypothesis that time outdoors might create differences in circulating levels of vitamin D between myopes and non-myopes...

..This case-control study was conducted to determine whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within VDR at 12q13.11 and GC at 4q12-13 are associated with myopia...

..A model is presented that explains the source of this anomalous motion, as well as quantifies the appearance of retinoscopic motion in myopia and hyperopia...

..To evaluate the relation between ocular shape and refractive error in children...

....

..To quantify the degree of association between juvenile myopia and parental myopia, near work, and school achievement...

..Data were analyzed from published studies to determine which of these two alternatives better explains the data: a cohort effect of changing prevalence by decade or a longitudinal effect of changing prevalence as a function of age...

..The relationship between corneal shape and other ocular dimensions in children, including anterior and vitreous chamber depths, axial length, and spherical equivalent refractive error, was investigated...

..To evaluate the relationship between accommodation, visual acuity, and emmetropization in human infancy...

..Soft contact lenses have been reported to increase the progression of myopia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether soft contact lenses affect the progression of myopia in children...

..To determine whether ciliary body thickness (CBT) is related to refractive error in school-age children...

..To investigate the relationship among microfluctuations in accommodation, resting tension on the crystalline lens, ciliary body thickness, and refractive error in children...

..To validate aberrometry-based relative peripheral refraction (RPR) measurements and to examine RPR differences in the nasal and temporal horizontal visual field...

..To identify whether parental history of myopia and/or parent-reported children's visual activity levels can predict juvenile-onset myopia...

..The immediate visual benefit may outweigh these concerns...

..To determine whether contact lens wear affects children's self-perceptions...

..To describe the refractive error and ocular components of a large group of school-aged children as a function of age and gender...

..To compare children's reports of comfort, vision, and contact lens-related issues in gas permeable (GP) and soft (SCL) contact lens wearers...

....

..To compare the effects of rigid gas-permeable contact lenses (RGPs) and soft contact lenses (SCLs) on myopia progression in children...

..The purpose of this report is to describe the normal growth pattern of the optical components of the eye in a cohort of emmetropic, school-aged children...

..The run-in period greatly reduced the loss to follow-up suffered by previous RGP contact lens myopia progression studies and may help provide more definitive answers regarding myopia control with RGP contact lenses...

..To determine the utility of a child's first grade refractive error and parental history of myopia as predictors of myopia onset between the second and eighth grades...

..0, assuming homogeneity, was estimated at 93.2%. We found no confirmatory evidence of linkage between juvenile myopia and regions of chromosomes 12 and 18 previously associated with pathological myopia...

..The transient nature of these changes suggests that tension on the choroid and choroidal hysteresis may play a role in influencing ocular shape...

..To assess the refractive state of eyes in various breeds of dogs to identify breeds susceptible to ametropias...

..To assess whether parents and children report the same information regarding children's near vision activities when given similar questionnaires...

..0%), followed by whites (26.4%). CONCLUSION: There were significant differences in the prevalence of refractive errors among ethnic groups, even after controlling for age and sex (P<.001)...

..CONCLUSION: Pediatric eye care providers show a lack of consensus on prescribing philosophies for hyperopic children...

..We will investigate which ocular components-cornea or lens-are responsible for the previously reported astigmatism in infancy and its disappearance in early childhood. ..
