Adjusted 1-Year Difference in Central Myopia Progression (D) by Type of Peripheral Defocus (Myopic Versus Hyperopic) on the Superior Retina During Year 2 of the Study When All Children Wore SVLs

Study Year 2 (All Wore SVLs) Retinal Location	Type of Peripheral Defocus, Number of Children		Progression Difference Between Groups,* Myopic–Hyperopic
	Hyperopic	Myopic	Mean ± SE	P Value	95% CI for Difference
Relative peripheral defocus (RPD)
30° Superior	46	36	0.12 ± 0.09	0.16	−0.05 to 0.30 D
Absolute peripheral defocus (as measured by aberrometer)
30° Superior	41	41	0.09 ± 0.09	0.30	−0.08 to 0.26 D

^*Differences adjusted for baseline refractive error, age, sex, and ethnicity. Positive difference indicates slower myopia progression in children with myopic peripheral defocus compared to children with hyperopic peripheral defocus.
