 This study investigated the accuracy of predicting the spherical equivalent of children and adolescents using a time-aware long-short-term memory model. The results showed that the model had a mean absolute prediction error of 0.103D, which is lower than the criterion for clinically acceptable prediction, 0.75D. This suggests that the model can be used to accurately predict the progression of myopia in children and adolescents. This article was authored by Duen Jia Huang, Wei Yi Ma, Rong Li, and others.
