Abstract:Objective To obtain reference cut-off values for predicting the risk and progression of myopia based on noncycloplegic refraction among primary and secondary students in a county in Shandong province of China. Methods A standardized visual acuity screening was conducted among primary and secondary students in a county in Shandong province from March to May 2019(Third grade high school students and some fourth grade middle school students did not participate in the screening) by using a standard logarithmic visual acuity chart(LogMAR) and an automatic computerized optometry, in which uncorrected visual acuity and the spherical and cylindrical indicators were collected. Myopia was defined as an uncorrected visual acuity less than 5.0 and spherical equivalent refraction <-0.500 D under the noncycloplegic state in either eye according to the national standard of China for screening ametropia among primary and secondary students. Based on the age-specific prevalence of myopia and the quantile distribution of the spherical equivalent refraction in the corresponding age group, a reference cut-off value of the spherical equivalent refraction for identifying the onset and progression of myopia in each age group was obtained with the assumption that the quantile distribution of the spherical equivalent refraction remained relatively stable over time. Results A total of 43,059 primary and secondary students were involved in the study, including 22,570(52.4%) boys and 20,489(47.6%) girls. The prevalence of myopia was 12.9% among the first grade primary school students(age 7), which increased linearly with age and reached 89.0% among the second grade high school students(age 17). The corresponding 12.9th percentile of spherical equivalent refraction for the 7-year-olds was -1.250 D and the 89.0th percentile for the 17-year-olds was -1.625 D. As a result, the values -1.250 D and -1.625 D could be used as the reference cut-off values for determining myopia for 7-year-olds and 17-year-olds, respectively, if myopia was determined solely based on spherical equivalent refraction. The 89.0th percentile of 7-year-old students was 0.250 D and the 12.9th percentile of 17-year-old students was -7.125 D, indicating that a spherical equivalent refraction of 0.250 D at age 7 would progress to -1.625 D by age 17, while a spherical equivalent refraction of -1.250 D at age 7 would progress to -7.125 D by age 17. Similarly, for students with spherical equivalent refraction greater than 0.250 D at age 7, the spherical equivalent refraction may be greater than -1.625 D by age 17, i.e., myopia would not occur by age 17. Following this principle, reference cut-off values on the spherical equivalent refraction for identifying the risk of myopia onset and progression in students aged 7 to 17 years were provided and the corresponding spherical equivalent refraction progression curve was plotted. Conclusions The study obtained the reference cut-off values of spherical equivalent refraction for the assessment of myopia risk in students aged 7-17 years, which may be used a tool for predicting the onset and progression of myopia to facilitate health education on the prevention and control of myopia.
