Design and baseline characteristics of a prospective, longitudinal study of myopia progression in young adults (MAP).
Key Points
This research aims to explore the initial characteristics and design of a study focusing on myopia progression in young adults.
Conducted a longitudinal study design
Analyzed baseline characteristics of participants
Examined relationships between age at onset and myopic severity
Younger age at onset correlates with more severe myopic spherical equivalent (SER)
Longer axial length (AL) is associated with earlier onset of myopia
Abstract
The design and baseline characteristics of MAP are reported. Baseline analyses indicate that younger age at onset is associated with more myopic SER and longer AL in young adults.
