Core Tip

Core Tip: A total of 207 elementary school students aged 9-11 years, 142 males and 65 females, who presented to our hospital from November 2019 to April 2020, were enrolled for myopia study. We found a correlation between myopia development and various corneal biomechanical parameters in children. These findings may allow clinicians to take preventive measures to minimize a further increase in axial length.
