Summary: The curvature of the lens in the myopia group was larger and the refractive power lower compared to the hyperopia group, with more noticeable changes in curvature and power in hyperopic patients after cycloplegia.

Summary: This study explored the ocular biometric characteristics of children and the relationship between myopia and macular pigment optical density. The findings suggest that children from the optometry center have a slower progression of myopia, which is important for future myopia prevention.

Summary: The study found that the crystalline lens power decreases and thickness slightly increases in 6 to 12-year-old children over a three-year period. These changes are associated with refractive errors, place of residence, age, gender, and outdoor activity time.

Summary: The study found that the refractive status of preschool children changes smoothly, suggesting optometry screening starting at the age of 3. For children whose refractive error changes more than -1.00 D per year, a visit to the ophthalmology department is recommended.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between patients' baseline biometric factors or lens parameters and the diameter of the treatment zone in young myopic children undergoing Corneal Refractive Therapy. Retrospective review of data from patients undergoing Corneal Refractive Therapy lens treatment within two years was conducted. Results showed that spherical refraction, flat keratometric reading, Reverse Zone Depth 2, Landing Zone Angle 1, and lens diameter were independent factors of treatment zone diameter. Logistic regression analysis accurately predicted the treatment zone size with a 71.5% accuracy.

Summary: This study presents a retrospective report on the one-year visual outcomes of Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) for myopia and myopic astigmatism. The results indicate that SMILE is a safe and effective treatment with positive clinical outcomes.

Summary: The study found that there is accelerated loss of lens power in emmetropia and early stage of myopia. However, this loss is retarded when myopia persists and is accompanied by disappearance of the compensatory effect of lens power against axial elongation.

Summary: The CEBQ questionnaire has been validated for high reliability and internal consistency in Spanish children. Positive associations were found between pro-intake scales like Food Responsiveness, Emotional Overeating, and Enjoyment of food, and children's BMI, while negative associations were observed between anti-intake scales like Satiety Responsiveness, Slowness in Eating, and Emotional Undereating, and BMI.

Summary: Childhood obesity is a significant challenge both clinically and socio-economically. This study assessed specific biochemical parameters in 8- and 9-year-old children with excessive body weight and found a significant proportion of children with disruptions in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Despite BMI improvement, metabolic disorders persisted post-intervention.

Summary: This study aimed to determine axial length elongation profiles in children aged 3-6 years in an Asian population. The study found that the average axial length increased by 0.80 mm from 3 to 6 years, with myopic eyes showing the greatest elongation. Furthermore, an increase in birth weight was associated with greater axial length elongation in children.
