A proportion of participants did not attend the 20-month visit because of the infection control restriction during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mean and 95% CI values were calculated with data from both eyes.
P values were generated by the generalized estimating equation model with the adjustment of baseline age, sex, baseline spherical equivalent/axial length, outdoor time, near work time, and parental myopia.
