    The study analyzed ocular biometric characteristics of high myopia in children, focusing on age-related changes in axial length and axial ratio.

  • 2

    A total of 84 pediatric patients with high myopia were included, showing significant correlations between age, axial length, and axial ratio.

  • 3

    The average spherical equivalent of highly myopic eyes was −8.87 ± 2.58D, with an average axial length of 26.41 ± 1.33 mm.

  • 4

    Anisometropia was common, with 27.7% of patients showing significant differences in spherical equivalent between eyes.

    The study emphasizes the need for enhanced monitoring of ocular structure in children with high myopia to prevent long-term complications.
