Background/Objectives: The prevalence of myopia is increasing globally, including in Spain. early detection ocular biometric parameters associated with development crucial for implementing control strategies. This study aims to describe the normative values a Spanish school-aged population and compare them previously established reference data. Methods: A cross-sectional, observational, analytical was conducted on 558 students aged 6 12 years from Educare Valdefuentes School Madrid. Ocular parameters, axial length (AL), corneal curvature (CR), anterior chamber depth (ACD), crystalline lens thickness (LT), (CCT), posterior vitreous (PVD), were measured using IOLMaster 700. length/corneal radius (AL/CR) ratio calculated. Percentile growth curves generated, results statistically analyzed IBM SPSS 29. Results: AL significantly increased age (p < 0.001), boys had longer than girls. AL/CR showed moderate correlation risk (ρ = 0.647, p 0.001). Compared previous European studies, no significant differences found, except minor variations CR. Conclusions: These percentile-based provide useful monitoring assessing children. remains strong predictor development, supporting its role

Refractive development II: Modelling normal and myopic eye growth

Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 45(1), P. 120 - 134

During refractive development, eye growth is controlled by a combination of genetically pre-programmed processes and retinal feedback to minimise the error. This work presents basic differential model how this process may take place.
