Accelerated loss of crystalline lens power initiating from emmetropia among young school children: a 2‐year longitudinal study

To determine the characteristics of crystalline lens with varying refractive errors and relationship with axial elongation in young school children.A total of 1465 children aged 6-8 years were examined annually for 2 years. Each participant underwent a series of ophthalmic examinations, including cycloplegic autorefraction, crystalline lens and axial length measurement. Crystalline lens power was determined, and factors associated with different...
