Preschool children with insufficient physiological hyperopia experience accelerated myopic drift
The regression of physiological hyperopia accelerates in preschool-age children, with older children showing faster regression and lower levels of physiological hyperopia. This premature decline correlates with an increased rate of myopic drift and accelerated biometric growth. Therefore, regular monitoring of physiological hyperopia should begin at preschool age, as the rate of regression serves as a more reliable predictor of future myopia than refraction alone.
