*All calculated by one-way ANOVA, except
†χ2 test was applied to analyse the frequency data of gender.
ANOVA, analysis of variance; AL, axial length; BCVA, best-corrected visual acuity; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; EM, emmetropia; HM, high myopia; IOP, intraocular pressure; MSE, mean spherical equivalent; PM, pathological myopia; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
