Gender differences in higher-order aberrations and refractive error in Japanese school children: the Kyoto Childhood Refractive Error Study (KRES)
In Japanese school children, AL was shorter in the girls than in the boys, although, no gender-related differences were observed in myopia prevalence. The steeper cornea in girls might be associated with that discrepancy, and partially with gender differences of HOAs. Gender-specific differences of AL and HOAs should be considered in the analysis of myopia progression in school-aged children.
