Purpose: We studied biometry changes before and after myopia onset in a cohort of Singaporean children. Methods: All data were taken from the Singapore Cohort Study Risk Factors for Myopia (SCORM). Participants underwent refraction measurements with follow-up 3 to 6 years. The longitudinal ocular (spherical equivalent refraction, axial length, lens power) compared between children who suffered during study (N = 303), emmetropic 490), myopic at baseline 509). Results: At onset, shift...
Our study aims to identify children at risk of developing high myopia for timely assessment and intervention, preventing progression complications in adulthood through the development a deep learning system (DLS). Using school-based cohort Singapore comprising 998 (aged 6-12 years old), we train perform primary validation DLS using 7456 baseline fundus images 1878 eyes; with external an independent test dataset 821 189 eyes together clinical data (age, gender, race, parental myopia,...
Pubertal growth patterns correlate with future health outcomes. However, the genetic mechanisms mediating trajectories remain largely unknown. Here, we modeled longitudinal height Super-Imposition by Translation And Rotation (SITAR) curve analysis on ~ 56,000 trans-ancestry samples repeated measurements from age 5 years to adulthood. We performed six phenotypes representing magnitude, timing, and intensity of pubertal spurt. To investigate lifelong impact variants associated trajectories,...
Lack of outdoor time is a known risk factor for myopia. Knowledge the light levels reaching eye and exposure settings, including sun-protective measures, essential programs We evaluated impact strategies (hat sunglasses) on maintaining high illuminance to prevent myopia.A child-sized mannequin head was developed measure with without equipment, across wide range environments in Singapore, outdoors (open park, under tree, street) indoors (under fluorescent illumination window, white LED-based...
To examine the association between near work, screen time including TV and outdoor with myopia in children from Sunflower Myopia Asian Eye Epidemiology Consortium (AEEC).We analysed AEEC cross-sectional data (12 241 children) on risk factors (near time) of six population-based studies (China, Hong Kong Singapore). Cycloplegic refraction axial length (AL) measurements were included. Risk determined using questionnaires. Data pooled each study, multivariable regression analysis was performed...
Background/aims To evaluate the association of reported time outdoors and light exposure patterns with myopia among children aged 9 years from Growing Up in Singapore Towards Healthy Outcomes birth cohort. Methods We assessed (min/day), outdoor activities (n=483) a questionnaire, FitSight watch 7-day activity diary. Light levels, duration, timing frequency were assessed. Cycloplegic spherical equivalent (SE), (SE≤−0.5 D) axial length (AL) paired eyes analysed using generalised estimating...
Animal models have shown that the absence of high-frequency visual information can precipitate onset myopia, but this relationship remains unclear in humans. This study aims to explore association between spatial frequency content environment and myopia children.
Aims To determine the prevalence and predictors of myopic macular degeneration (MMD) in a consortium Asian studies. Methods Individual-level data from 19 885 participants four population-based studies, 1379 highly (defined as axial length (AL) >26.0 mm) three clinic-based/school-based studies Eye Epidemiology Consortium were pooled. MMD was graded fundus photographs following meta-analysis for pathologic myopia classification defined presence diffuse choroidal atrophy, patchy...
Abstract Purpose To compare 3‐year myopic progression between Finnish and Singaporean children. Methods Myopic was compared 9‐year‐old (mean age 9.7 ± 0.4 years, n = 92) 11‐year‐old 11.7 144) (Finnish RCT) children matched by refraction (SCORMMatched, 403) 7‐ to 8‐year‐old only (SCORM Young, 186). Spherical equivalent (SE) −0.50 −3.00 D. Refraction with cycloplegia controlled annually for 3 years. Information on parental myopia, mother’s education, time spent near‐work outdoor gathered...
The development of tools to predict the risk myopia onset and progression has increased in past few years. Currently, several control therapies are available slow rate progression. Additionally, environmental counselling, such as increasing outdoor time, can be used delay myopia. However, assessment need for treatment or counselling is dependent on an evaluation develop Several have been developed, percentile growth curves artificial intelligence curve estimations refractive error axial...
Aims To investigate whether industry-sponsored randomised control trials (RCT) on myopia have more favourable outcomes and differ in risk of bias, compared with studies having other sources sponsorship. Methods PubMed, Embase MEDLINE were searched until 6 October 2023. RCTs interventions included if they reported spherical equivalent (SE) and/or axial length (AL) changes. We pooled the mean differences 95% CIs SE AL changes using a random-effects model. calculated both ratio (RR) adjusted OR...
