The Causal Effect of Education on Myopia: Evidence That More Exposure to Schooling, Rather Than Increased Age, Causes the Onset of Myopia

Xiaohu Ding, Ian G. Morgan, Yin Hu, Xianghua Tang, Jiayu Zhang, Lan Guo, Yangfeng Guo, Nali Deng, Xueying Du, Yingfeng Zheng, Mingguang He, Ciyong Lu, Xiao Yang, Yizhi Liu

Summary: The purpose of this study is to distinguish the effects of age and grade on the development of myopia. The data of Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in 2018 and 2019 were examined, and regression analysis and regression discontinuity analysis were used to assess the development of refraction. The results indicate that grade increase has a more significant impact on the myopic shift than age.

Development and Validation of a Model to Predict Who Will Develop Myopia in the Following Year as a Criterion to Define Premyopia

Yanxian Chen, Cheng Tan, Li-Lian Foo, Siyan He, Jian Zhang, Gabriella Bulloch, Seang-Mei Saw, Jinying Li, Ian Morgan, Xiaobo Guo, Mingguang He

Summary: This study developed and validated models to predict the development of myopia based on cycloplegic refraction or ocular biometry. The study identified thresholds of premyopia and found that cycloplegic refraction at baseline is a better predictor of myopia onset compared to other ocular biometric measurements. The findings suggest that premyopia can be successfully defined and used to predict the need for more aggressive myopia prophylaxis.

Summary: This study assessed the longitudinal changes in the crystalline lens in persistent non-myopic and myopic children. The results showed a three-stage pattern of change in lens thickness in children ages 3 to 15 years, with a rapid decrease from 3 to 7 years, a slower decrease from 7 to 11 years, followed by an increase thereafter. Lens power consistently decreased in all cohorts during the follow-up period.

How to Conduct School Myopia Screening: Comparison Among Myopia Screening Tests and Determination of Associated Cutoffs

Jingjing Wang, Hui Xie, Ian Morgan, Jun Chen, Chunxia Yao, Jianfeng Zhu, Haidong Zou, Kun Liu, Xun Xu, Xiangui He

Summary: The study found that using uncorrected visual acuity alone for myopia screening had poorer accuracy, while the combined use of uncorrected visual acuity and noncycloplegic refraction tests, as well as the combined use of axial length/corneal curvature radius and noncycloplegic refraction tests, achieved optimal accuracy for myopia screening. Setting age-specific cutoffs can increase accuracy, and the prevalence obtained from primary screening should be corrected according to the data of cycloplegic refraction after referral.

China Turns to School Reform to Control the Myopia Epidemic: A Narrative Review

Ian G. Morgan, Catherine L. Jan

Summary: Myopia has become a major public health concern in East and Southeast Asia, including mainland China. The prevalence of myopia is high in this region, with around 80% of students completing 12 years of school education being myopic. Various interventions such as increasing time outdoors and using atropine eye drops have been implemented, but myopia rates remain high. New approaches such as orthokeratology and lenses that slow myopia progression show promise. Chinese President Xi Jinping has emphasized the importance of myopia prevention in mainland China.

Exposure to the Life of a School Child Rather Than Age Determines Myopic Shifts in Refraction in School Children

Xiaohu Ding, Ian G. Morgan, Yin Hu, Zhaohui Yuan, Mingguang He

Summary: This study found that the prevalence of myopia increases with age and grade in school children. The results suggest that exposure to schooling, rather than age, appears to be the major driver of refractive development, at least in the early years of schooling. Interventions during this period, involving reductions in educational pressure and increased time outdoors, may have significant effects on the subsequent development of myopia.
