Correlation between longitudinal serum vitamin D levels and myopia in children: a prospective birth cohort analysis
This prospective birth cohort study found no association between serum vitamin D concentrations at birth, 1, 3, or 5 years of age and the development of myopia in Taiwanese children. These findings suggest that other factors, such as ethnicity, near work activities, or lighting conditions, may play more significant roles in myopia development, particularly among East Asian populations.
