Measurement of the\n          tear meniscus area (TMA) and tear meniscus height (TMH) was performed 2 times in the same day via the use of anterior segment-optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results The mean age of the participants in Group 1 was 12.42\u2009\u00b1\u20093.40 years, while in Group 2, it was 12.59\u2009\u00b1\u20092.32 years (p\u2009=\u20090.758).
