Conditions

Emmetropia

Interventions

Gold Standard:The study uses "cycloplegic refraction" as the gold standard for diagnosing the true refractive status of children.
Index test:Non-cycloplegic refraction (small-pupil refraction) and cycloplegic refraction (dilated refraction) measurements, axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), etc.

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Select study subjects from the EDC system who meet the following criteria: (1) Meet the original project inclusion criteria: primary school students aged 6-12, of any gender; after cycloplegia, refraction confirmed as emmetropia, mild hyperopia, or low to moderate myopia in both eyes (spherical equivalent refraction, SER <= -6.00 D); astigmatism range: -1.50 D <= astigmatism <= 0 D. 2. Select study subjects from the EDC system who meet the following criteria: (2) Have complete examination data: including non-cycloplegic refraction (small pupil refraction), cycloplegic refraction (dilated refraction), IOL Master 700 biometry data, as well as fundus color photographs. 3. Select study subjects from the EDC system who meet the following criteria: (3) Image quality meets requirements: fundus photos without obvious motion artifacts or exposure abnormalities, suitable for subsequent analysis.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: (1) Meeting original project exclusion criteria: 1. Patients with anisometropia (difference in refraction between both eyes >=1.00D); 2. Patients with photosensitivity; 3. Patients with a family history of high myopia in parents; 4. Patients with strabismus, amblyopia, keratoconus, glaucoma, cataract, ptosis, active periocular or ocular inflammation (e.g., blepharitis, infectious conjunctivitis, keratitis, scleritis, uveitis, endophthalmitis), or fundus lesions affecting vision; 5. Patients with systemic conditions that may affect refractive development (e.g., Down syndrome, Marfan syndrome); 6. Patients with allergic constitution, systemic diseases or wasting diseases, immune deficiencies, combined with severe primary cardiovascular, liver, kidney, hematopoietic system diseases, immune system diseases, or psychiatric disorders; 7. Patients who underwent ocular surgery within 4 weeks before screening, or plan to undergo ocular surgery within 6 months after enrollment; 8. Patients planning to use orthokeratology lenses, rigid contact lenses, or multifocal progressive lenses for vision correction within 6 months after enrollment; 9. Patients who participated in other drug clinical trials within 3 months before screening; 10. Patients deemed unsuitable for clinical trial participation by the investigator. (2) Orthokeratology lens wearers. (3) Missing key data >20%.
