Association Between Visual Acuity and Cycloplegic Refractive Error in 3- to <10-Year-Old Children
In children 3 to <10 years of age without prior refractive correction, reduced distance VA was associated with myopia and astigmatism, but not hyperopia; an incremental decline in VA with increasing refractive error magnitude was seen only in myopia.
