Axial length of myopia: a review of current research.
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a worldwide common type of refractive error. It is a non-life-threatening disorder with huge social and economic consequences due to its increasing prevalence. Axial length (AL) is the primary determinant of non-syndromic myopia. It is a parameter representing the combination of anterior chamber depth, lens thickness and vitreous chamber depth of the eye. AL can a...
متن کاملThe control effect of orthokeratology on axial length elongation in Chinese children with myopia
BACKGROUND To retrospectively compare axial elongation in children with different degrees of myopia wearing spectacles and undergoing ortho-k treatment. METHODS The medical records of 128 patients who were fitted with spectacles or orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses in our clinic between 2008 and 2009 were reviewed. Ortho-k group comprised 65 subjects and 63 subjects wearing spectacles were inc...
متن کاملGenetic dissection of myopia: evidence for linkage of ocular axial length to chromosome 5q.
PURPOSE To estimate heritability and locate quantitative trait loci influencing axial length. DESIGN Classic twin study of monozygotic and dizygotic twins reared together. PARTICIPANTS Eight hundred ninety-three individuals from 460 families were recruited through the Twin Eye Study in Tasmania and the Brisbane Adolescent Twin Study (BATS) and had ocular axial length measured. METHODS Str...
متن کاملMyopia, axial length, and OCT characteristics of the macula in Singaporean children.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associations between macular volume and thickness, as assessed by optic coherence tomography (OCT), with refraction and axial length (AL) in children. METHODS A total of 104 Chinese school children (51 girls and 53 boys) 11 to 12 years of age were randomly selected from one school during the 2005 examination in the Singapore Cohort Study o...
متن کاملRefractive error, axial length, and relative peripheral refractive error before and after the onset of myopia.
PURPOSE To evaluate refractive error, axial length, and relative peripheral refractive error before, during the year of, and after the onset of myopia in children who became myopic compared with emmetropes. METHODS Subjects were 605 children 6 to 14 years of age who became myopic (at least -0.75 D in each meridian) and 374 emmetropic (between -0.25 D and +1.00 D in each meridian at all visits...
