Table 2.

Answer scores for: groups of boys with progression ≥−0.25 D/year (n = 16) and −0.50 D (n = 2) and groups of girls with progression ≥−0.25 D/year (n = 14) and −0.50 D (n = 8), presented as median value (range) and p (Mann−Whitney U-test with continuity correction). In the last two columns, p for inter-gender differences in scores for both myopia progression rates is presented.
