The study included 95 eyes in the DFCL group and 88 eyes in the DIMS group, and the spherical equivalent refraction (SER) of the study population ranged from \u22120.50 D to \u22126.00 D. The primary outcomes were the progression of SER and the elongation of axial length (AXL) over 1\u202fyear. A generalized linear mixed model was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and the associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs), adjusting for age, sex, initial AXL, and initial SER.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean SER progression was \u22120.28\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.15 D in the DFCL group and \u22120.25\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.12 D in the DIMS group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f0.139).
