Table 2.

Baseline values and the average change (± SD) in each ocular component between 3 ± 1 months and 6.5 years ± 6 months of age for subjects with data at each of those two visits. For the sign of the change, the order of subtraction is 6.5 years minus 3 months. The correlation coefficient is also given for the association between values at 3 months and those at 6.5 years of age. Each correlation was significant and positive except for the equivalent index of the crystalline lens.
