Parent\u2010reported reading and writing time, screen time and outdoor time were collected at ages 2, 3, 6 and 9\u2009years. Cycloplegic autorefraction and axial length were measured at age 9. Myopia was defined as a spherical equivalent \u2264\u22120.5 D. Associations between near work exposures and myopia were examined using multivariable regression with generalised estimating equations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 471 children (942 eyes), 37.3% were myopic at age 9\u2009years.
