Classical studies suggest that growth of the eye as assessed by axial elongation ceases by 13 years of age. The subjects in these studies were mostly emmetropes. In contrast, the childhood progression of myopia continues to the middle to late teenage years. We collected cross-sectional data on refractive error, axial length, and height. Analysis of these data based on a linear regression model suggests that axial elongation continues later in myopes than the classical studies suggest. The age of cessation of axial elongation in myopes was earlier in females than in males. For both sexes, the ages of axial elongation cessation in myopes were similar to the ages of cessation of increases in height.
经典研究表明，通过眼轴长度评估的眼球生长在13岁时停止。这些研究中的受试者大多为正视眼。相比之下，儿童近视的进展会持续到青少年中期至晚期。我们收集了关于屈光不正、眼轴长度和身高的横断面数据。基于线性回归模型对这些数据的分析表明，近视患者的眼轴延长比经典研究所表明的持续时间更长。近视患者眼轴延长停止的年龄女性早于男性。对于两性而言，近视患者眼轴延长停止的年龄与身高增长停止的年龄相似。
