    Pediatric myopia is linked to systemic factors, aligning with Traditional Chinese Medicine's holistic perspective.

  • 2

    A study of 873 children revealed that 53.15% were diagnosed with myopia using specific diagnostic tools.

  • 3

    The primary pulse wave amplitude (h1) showed a significant negative correlation with myopia after adjusting for various factors.

  • 4

    In older children, higher h1 amplitude correlated with increased spherical equivalent and reduced axial length.

  • 5

    No significant links were found between myopia and tongue or facial parameters, highlighting pulse evaluation's relevance.
