Myopia Stabilization and Associated Factors
Among Participants in the Correction of Myopia Evaluation Trial (COMET) 2013 於IOVS發表的COMET cohort研究結果：
Age at Stabilization
Based on the Gompertz curve–based
estimates, approximately half (48%; 203 of 426) of the overall COMET cohort had
stable myopia (estimated SER within 0.50 D of the asymptote) by age 15 years.
The proportion with estimated stable myopia increased to 77% (330 of 426) by
age 18 years and to 90% (384 of 426) by age 21 years. By age 24 years, the
curves of almost all of the cohort (96%; 411 of 426) had achieved the
curve-based definition of myopia stabilization
.
近視穩定年紀48%在15歲達到穩定，77%在18歲達到穩定，90%在21歲達到穩定，96%在24歲達到穩定，平均在15.61歲達到近視穩定，在達到近視穩定前四年開始減速，平均在11.95歲達到近視開始減速成長的年齡（亦即近視成長速度的高峰）。穩定時的近視度數平均為487度，最終平均近視度數為537度（依該研究的近視穩定的定義兩者之間相差50度）。
方法：收集6~12歲之間，近視在125~450度之間，共469位小朋友，追蹤至少6年。
討論：近視成長的過程，各年齡階段的成長速度並不一樣，且不同的種族達到穩定的年紀有所差異。
