Purpose: To evaluate the impact of optical vs. illuminance factors and their duration-dependency on lens-induced hyperopia (LIH) in chick eyes.
Methods: Hyperopia was induced in one eye in chicks (10 groups; n = 126) from day 1 after hatching until day 8 using +10-diopter lenses with fellow eyes as controls.
Purpose: To evaluate factors influencing stabilisation of myopia in the Singapore Cohort of Risk factors for Myopia.
Methods: We evaluated the longitudinal natural history of 424 myopic participants from 1999 to 2022. The outcome was the change in myopia from the adolescence follow-up visit (aged 12-19 years) to the adulthood follow-up visit (aged 26-33 years).
Purpose: To evaluate the duration-dependent and synergetic impact of high-intensity light (HL) and unrestricted vision (UnV) on lens-induced myopia (LIM) development in chickens.
Methods: Myopia was induced in one eye in chicks (10 groups, n = 126) from day 1 posthatching (D1) until day 8 (D8) using -10 diopter (D) lenses. Fellow eyes remained uncovered as controls.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of childhood progression of spherical equivalent (SE) with high myopia (HM) in teenagers in the Singapore Cohort of Risk factors for Myopia (SCORM).
Methods: We included 928 SCORM children followed over a mean follow-up of 6.9 ± 1.
Purpose: To investigate the association between 1-year myopia progression and subsequent 2-year myopia progression among myopic children in the Singapore Cohort Study of the Risk Factors for Myopia.
Methods: This retrospective analysis included 618 myopic children (329 male), 7 to 9 years of age (mean age, 8.0 ± 0.
