Patients were divided into two groups based on their myopia control intervention: the SVL group and the HAL group. Subgroup analyses were subsequently performed within both groups according to age. The progression in mean spherical equivalent refraction (SER) and axial length (AL) was compared among the different groups and subgroups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 157 children (87 males [55.41%] and 70 females [44.59%]) with myopia (right eye only, 157 eyes), aged 6\u201312\u202fyears (mean age, 8.94\u202f\u00b1\u202f1.39\u202fyears), were included. The SVL group comprised 49 cases (49 eyes) with an average progression in SER (\u0394SER) of \u22120.70\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.45 D and an average axial length increase (\u0394AL) of 0.31\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.19\u202fmm. The HAL group comprised 108 cases (108 eyes) with an average \u0394SER of \u22120.18\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.38 D and an average \u0394AL of 0.13\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.16\u202fmm. Within the HAL subgroups, the median \u0394AL in the 7-year group was significantly higher than in the 8-year (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      =\u202f0.03), 9-year (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      =\u202f0.009), and 10-year (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      =\u202f0.003) groups.

Age is also a critical factor: even with HAL lenses, axial growth remains pronounced in children under 8\u202fyears and is more difficult to control. For those who develop myopia at a younger age, combined pharmacological interventions may offer a better strategy than optical correction alone.<\/jats:p>\n
