Purpose: To determine the prevalence, incidence, and change in refractive errors for Australian schoolchildren and examine the impact of ethnicity and sex.Design: Population-based cohort study.Participants: The Sydney Adolescent Vascular and Eye Study, a 5- to 6-year follow-up of the Sydney Myopia Study, examined 2760 children in 2 age cohorts, 12 and 17 years. Longitudinal data were available for 870 and 1202 children in the younger and older cohorts, respectively.Methods: Children completed a comprehensive examination, including cycloplegic autorefraction (cyclopentolate 1%; Canon RK-F1). Myopia was defined as =+2.00 D right eye spherical equivalent refraction.Main Outcome Measures: Baseline and follow-up refraction.Results: Prevalence of myopia increased between baseline and follow-up for both the younger (1.4%-14.4%; P
