Interocular Symmetry in Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Children: The Hong Kong Children Eye Study.

Introduction: The aim of this work is to determine the interocular differences in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (p-RNFL) thickness and its associations among school children in Hong Kong.

Methods: We conducted a population-based study including 4034 children aged 6-8 years from the Hong Kong Children Eye Study (HKCES). All participants received comprehensive ocular examinations where p-RNFL thickness was measured using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Increase in Bruch's membrane opening minimum rim width with age in healthy children: the Hong Kong Children Eye Study.

Background/aims: To identify normative values and determinants for Bruch's membrane opening (BMO) and the minimum rim width of BMO (BMO-MRW) among healthy children.

Methods: A population-based cross-sectional study from the Hong Kong Children Eye Study, recruiting 1, 226 children aged 6-8 years. Spherical refractive error, axial length (AL), body mass index and intraocular pressure (IOP) were measured.

Thicker Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer with Age among Schoolchildren: The Hong Kong Children Eye Study.

This study aims to investigate the effect of age on the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (p-RNFL) thickness among schoolchildren. A total of 4034 children aged 6-8 years old received comprehensive ophthalmological examinations. p-RNFL thickness was measured from a circular scan (⌀ = 3.

Prevalence of strabismus and its risk factors among school aged children: The Hong Kong Children Eye Study.

The study aims to determine the prevalence of strabismus and its risk factors among school children in Hong Kong. This is a cross-sectional study involving 6-8 year old children from different districts in Hong Kong. 4273 children received comprehensive ophthalmological examination, cycloplegic auto-refraction, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anterior segment examination, cover/uncover test, ocular motility, and fundus examination.
