Refractive change and incidence of myopia among rural Chinese children: the Handan Offspring Myopia Study.

CONCLUSION: Relatively low myopic refractive change and myopia incidence were found in this study cohort. Children's refraction and paternal refraction were associated with both myopic refractive change and myopia incidence. Such information will be helpful for further comparisons in other rural versus urban areas of China, and other countries.
