摘要：

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 prevalence 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.
