Question  What is the risk of developing high myopia in adulthood in association with a specific age at myopia onset?

Findings  In this cohort study of 443 individuals with myopia, the risk of developing high myopia was greater than 50% for those with myopia onset at 7 or 8 years of age. The risk substantially decreased to approximately 30% for onset at 9 years of age, 20% for onset at 10 years of age, and less than 5% for onset at 12 years or older.

Meaning  These data suggest that early onset is strongly associated with high myopia risk in adulthood and that a delay in each year of onset substantially reduces this risk, supporting the need for prompt myopia prevention strategies.

Importance  Early-onset myopia is well known to progress to high myopia in adulthood. However, no accurate estimation of how a specific age at myopia onset ...
