2
Lens thickness exhibited a significant negative correlation with age, showing a triphasic pattern of decline, stabilization, and mild thickening.
-
3
Females had thicker lens thickness compared to males, with non-myopic children also exhibiting thicker lenses than myopic peers.
-
4
Longitudinal data indicated lens thickness decreased from ages 3 to 9, stabilized between 10 and 12, and increased from 13 to 17 years.
