ObjectiveTo evaluate the accuracy of using the vergence formula to screen myopia in children and adolescents.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study conducted between December 2022 and May 2023 at the ophthalmology clinic of Beijing Tongren Hospital. A total of 336 children aged 6 to 12 years with refractive errors were selected according to the inclusion criteria. Biometric measurements, including axial length, corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, corneal curvature, and lens thickness, were obtained using a biometer. The Calculated spherical equivalent (SE) was then calculated using the vergence formula. Cycloplegic refraction was performed after paralysis of the ciliary muscle, and the subjective SE was recorded. A diagnosis of myopia was made if the subjective SE was ≤ −0.50 diopters.ResultsThe AL/CR, subjective SE, and calculated SE were not normally distributed (p |
