Myopia growth chart based on a population-based survey (KNHANES IV–V): A novel prediction model of myopic progression in childhood

Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus Mar 27, 2019

Kim DH, et al. - A sum of 7695 Korean individuals of age 5 to 20 years from a population-based health survey (Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey IV–V) were estimated to develop a novel myopia growth chart for the prognostication of myopic progress. They mean spherical equivalent (SE) was −1.82 diopters (D) among selected participants. They recorded +0.72 D, the SE of the 10th percentile for subjects aged 5 years whereas −0.25 D for those aged 20 years. They also found a total change in refraction of −0.97 D. They observed approximately −0.06, −0.15, and −0.40 D/year, the myopia progression rate from 5 to 20 years of age in the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentile groups, respectively. They recommended the myopia growth chart either for the diagnosis of severity or to assess the progression of myopia. They also suggested the progression of myopia at a faster rate among subjects with a higher percentile of myopia for his or her age.
