► Accommodative lag and refractive error were measured annually in 592 myopic children. ► Accommodative lag was not associated with annual juvenile-onset myopia progression. ► Foveal hyperopic retinal blur during near viewing may not drive myopia progression.
The relationship between accommodative lag and annual myopia progression was investigated using linear models in 592 myopic children wearing a full refractive correction in the Collaborative Longitudinal Evaluation of Ethnicity and Refractive Error (CLEERE) Study. The mean (±SD) age and spherical equivalent refractive error at baseline were 10.4±1.8years and −2.13±1.24 D, respectively. The mean annual progression of myopia was −0.45±0.32 D, and the mean accommodative lag (for a 4-D Badal stimulus) was 1.59±0.63 D. Neither lag at the beginning nor at the end of a yearly progression interval was associated with annual myopia progression (all p⩾0.12). These data suggest that foveal hyperopic retinal blur during near viewing may not drive juvenile-onset myopia progression.
