Relationship between higher-order wavefront aberrations and natural progression of myopia in schoolchildren

Abstract This study investigated the relationship between higher-order aberrations (HOAs) and myopia progression as well as axial elongation in schoolchildren. We examined cycloplegic refraction, axial length, and wavefront aberrations prospectively in 71 myopic children. Changes in cycloplegic refr...

We examined cycloplegic refraction, axial length, and wavefront aberrations prospectively in 71 myopic children.

Sixty-four subjects ([mean ± SD] 9.2 ± 1.6 years) completed the 2-year examinations.

Myopia progression and axial elongation showed significant correlations with many components of corneal HOA (P < 0.0001 to P = 0.0270). Multivariate analysis showed that the total HOA of the cornea was the most relevant variable to myopia progression and axial elongation (P < 0.0001).
