Abstract:AIM：To explore the relationship between the corneal curvature, axial length, height, weight, bone age and the degree of myopia in students aged 6-14. METHODS：The height, weight, visual acuity were examined in children aged 6-14 in Baoshan district of Shanghai. There were 621 poor vision students were enrolled refractive examination, including the optometry after cycloplegia, corneal curvature and axial length.They were also taken the imaging examination of carpal bone to define their bone age. The relationship of examination results was analyzed. RESULTS: Statistics showed that the spherical equivalent had negative correlation with axial length and had no correlation with corneal curvature. The spherical equivalent had negative correlation with age, the axial length, height, weight, bone age had positive correlation with age, while the corneal curvature and the difference of axial length between measurement and emmetropia had no correlation with age. The height, weight, age, bone age and bone age difference had negative correlation with spherical equivalent, had positive correlation with axial length, had no correlation with corneal curvature. The height, weight, age, bone age had no correlation with the difference of axial length, and the bone age difference had weak positive correlation with the difference of axial length. CONCLUSION: The myopia of adolescent has some relationship with the rhythm of body growth and development.
