    The study evaluated retinal vascular oxygen saturation in myopic children and adults to understand differences related to age and myopia severity.

  • 2

    A total of 520 participants, including 260 children and 260 adults, were recruited for the study at the Beijing Ming Vision & Ophthalmology Clinic.

  • 3

    Inclusion criteria required participants to have myopia with corrected visual acuity greater than 20/25 and no significant ocular abnormalities.

  • 4

    Retinal oximetry was performed using a calibrated multi-wavelength imaging system, ensuring high-resolution images for accurate analysis.

  • 5

    Statistical analysis utilized IBM SPSS, employing independent samples t-tests to compare retinal oximetry results between children and adults.
