Mean (±SD) ages, heights, refractive errors and near phorias of the enrolled myopic children
| n | Age (years) | Height (cm) | SE (OD) (D) | SE (OS) (D) | Near phoria at 33 cm (Δ) | |

SE indicates the spherical equivalent refractive error. Eso, ortho and exo indicate near esophoric children, orthophoric children and exophoric children, respectively. No significant near phoria group-based differences were noted with regard to age, height or refractive error (p>0.05). D, dioptre; OD, right eye; OS, left eye.
