Eyes with longer axial length at birth had smaller increases in axial length at 3 years (p < 0.001).
Cycloplegic autorefraction (Canon Autorefractor RK-F1) and optical biometry (IOLMaster) were performed 3 years later.īoth eyes of 173 children were analysed. Eye shape was assessed by an oblateness index, calculated as 1 - (axial length/width) or 1 - (axial length/height). To determine if eye size and shape at birth are associated with eye size and refractive error 3 years later.Ī subset of 173 full-term newborn infants from the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) birth cohort underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure the dimensions of the internal eye.
