Distribution, Progression, and Associated Factors of Refractive status of Children in Lhasa, Tibet after COVID-19 Quarantine

Compared to short-term confinement, this acceleration was more likely related to the growth and general trend of myopia in children. Collectively, these findings help to explore the differences in ocular growth and development among children of different ethni c groups.
