Ocular comorbidities include cataract, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
Model 1 includes age, gender, ethnicity, educationhistory, spherical equivalent and MTM. Model 2 includes age, gender, ethnicity,education history, spherical equivalent, MMD and MTM.
BCVA, best corrective visual acuity; logMAR, logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution ; MMD, myopic macular degeneration; MTM, myopic traction maculopathy.
