Longitudinal analysis reveals parental myopia increases refractive changes in young Chinese children, implying heightened risk.

The aim is to determine how parental myopia affects refractive changes in young children over three years.
Conducted a prospective cohort study with comprehensive eye examinations.
Assessed refraction, ocular biometry, and parental myopia severity.
Performed longitudinal analysis to examine the correlation between parental and children's refractive changes.
Children with highly myopic parents exhibited lower spherical equivalent refraction (SER) and faster axial elongation.
Participants with highly myopic mothers experienced a significantly higher risk of developing premyopia or myopia.
Outdoor activity limited to 2 hours increased susceptibility to lower SER among children with myopic parents.

Zong et al. (2026) studied this question.
