Analysis of factors related to the development of ocular biometric parameters in Chinese children aged 6-10 years: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Emmetropia depends on the precise coordination of ocular biometry, including axial length (AL), corneal curvature, lens thickness and anterior chamber depth (ACD). Disruption of this coordination leads to refractive errors such as myopia. This article aimed to determine the factors affecting ocular biometry and myopia development in young children.

Design

A cross-sectional study.

Setting

This study was conducted in a primary school in the Yanqing district of Beijing, China.

Participants

792 students in grades 1-3 without hyperopia (>+2.00 D), strabismus, or amblyopia were selected.

Exclusions

students had conditions affecting best corrected visual acuity and whose guardians refused to provide informed consent. Ocular biometric measurements and
