Early Childhood Refractive Error and Parental History of Myopia as Predictors of Myopia

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

First grade refractive error and the number of myopic parents can predict a child's risk of myopia; however, because the sensitivity of these factors is low, these two predictors may not be sufficient at this young age when a more accurate prediction of myopia onset is needed.
