Optimising non‐cycloplegic screening strategies for early detection of pre‐myopia and myopia in young children
While UDVA alone provided acceptable discrimination for myopia, it was insufficient for screening pre-myopia. Non-cycloplegic SER alone had relatively poor discrimination for pre-myopia, but its performance improved when combined with the AL/CR ratio. The best results for myopia discrimination were achieved by combining non-cycloplegic SER, axial length and UDVA measures.
