Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on understanding how axial elongation, a key factor in the progression of primary myopia in children, is affected by various factors through a meta-regression analysis.
- Researchers conducted a systematic search of multiple databases, analyzing data from 64 studies to model the mean rate of axial elongation in low to moderate myopia cases.
- Results revealed that axial elongation is significantly greater in Asian children compared to non-Asians, with both groups showing a consistent decline in elongation rates as they age, highlighting the complexity of managing myopia in individual children.
