This study aimed to evaluate the association between sleep duration and myopia, cycloplegic spherical equivalent (SE) and axial length (AL) among Chinese children during the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study was a cross-sectional study on Chinese children aged 6\u201318 years. The comprehensive ophthalmic examinations for children included cycloplegic SE, AL, and standardized questionnaires. The questionnaire included sleep duration, parental myopia, outdoor time, and continuous near work duration without breaks.

In univariate regression analysis, compared with sleep duration &amp;lt; 8 h\/d, children with sleep duration of 8\u20139 and &amp;gt;9 h\/d were less myopia (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.01 for all), and had less myopic SE (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.01 for all), and shorter AL (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.01 for all).
