对瓦努阿图的753名美拉尼西亚儿童和马来西亚的904名马来儿童进行了一项横断面研究，包括测量屈光不正和眼睛尺寸。所有儿童的年龄在6岁到17岁之间。7~8岁马来儿童近视患病率为4.3%，15~16岁儿童近视患病率为25.6%，美拉尼西亚儿童近视患病率为0.8%和4.3%。所有年龄段的马来儿童的屈光不正范围都更大。马来儿童的平均屈光不正在6岁时表现出比美拉尼西亚儿童更大的远视和更短的眼轴，但在17岁时情况相反，马来儿童比美拉尼西亚儿童有更多的近视和更长的眼轴。
A cross-sectional study of 753 Melanesian children in Vanuatu and 904 Malay children in Malaysia included measurement of refractive error and ocular dimensions. All children were between the ages of 6 and 17 years. The prevaolence of myopia in Malay children was 4.3% at 7-8 years and 25.6% at 15-16 years with corresponding figures of 0.8% and 4.3% for Melanesian children. The range of refractive error was greater for Malay children at all ages. Mean refractive error for Malay children showed greater hypermetropia, together with a shorter axial length at 6 years, than Melanesian children, but at 17 years the situation reversed and Malay children had more myopia and longer axial lengths than their Melanesian counterparts.
