Implication

Observational study analyzes myopia prevalence and associated factors in school-aged children, indicating differences in axial length and higher-order aberrations by gender.

Key Points

In Japanese school children, girls showed shorter axial length and steeper corneal keratometry compared to boys.
Despite differences in anatomical measurements, no gender-related differences were found in myopia prevalence.
The study evaluated 2,298 eyes of 1,149 school children, highlighting significant differences in higher-order aberrations.
Findings suggest gender-specific analysis of higher-order aberrations and axial length is essential for understanding myopia progression.
