    The study developed an LSTM-based deep learning framework to predict refractive errors using longitudinal ocular biometric data.

  • 3

    Data was collected from 559 children and adolescents, resulting in 1,118 eyes and 3,044 examinations over a five-year period.

  • 4

    Participants were carefully selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure reliable data collection.

  • 5

    The predictive model aims to enhance personalized interventions for myopia management by leveraging complex biometric relationships.
