aThe Independent-Samples T-test was used to compare the age and cycloplegic SE between LCES and ACES; b The Bonferroni method was used to calibrate the test level for the pairwise comparisons of the refractive states; cHyperopia, myopia and high myopia were defined as spherical equivalent≥ + 2.00D, ≤ − 0.50D, and ≤ − 6.00D, respectively (based on data from the right eyes)
