The association between physical stature and myopia in elementary and junior high school graduates in Chongqing, China
Accelerated height growth at elementary school may increase the risk of myopia by accelerating the process of emmetropization, but this relationship may be covered up by other risk factors, especially the increased near-sight activity due to increased academic work at higher grades. Further study is warranted to explore this relationship in children of different ages.
