Relationship between higherorder wavefront aberrations and natural progression of myopia in schoolchildren Takahiro Hiraoka 1, Junko Kotsuka1, Tetsuhiko Kakita2, Fumiki Okamoto1 & Tetsuro Oshika1 This study investigated the relationship between higher-order aberrations (HOAs) and myopia progression as well as axial elongation in schoolchildren. We examined cycloplegic refraction, axial length, and wavefront aberrations prospectively in 71 myopic children. Changes in cycloplegic refraction and axial length during a 2-year study period were assessed, and their correlations with HOA components were analyzed. Sixty-four subjects ([mean ± SD] 9.2 ± 1.6 years) completed the 2-year examinations. Cycloplegic refraction was significantly changed after 2 years (P
