Correlation between Baseline Axial Length and Myopia Progression Rate in Childhood
Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the relationship between baseline axial length (AL) and the rate of myopia progression in children and determine whether baseline AL alone predicts rapid myopia progression. METHODS: This retrospective study included 1,458 patients (24 mm, suggesting a nonproportional relationship between AL and progression rate of myopia. CONCLUSIONS: Baseline AL was not a linear independent predictor of rapid myopia progression. Myopia progression tended to be slow in patients with an AL >24 mm.
