Singapore GUSTO analysis, 2022Sleep factors and eye measurements at school age; no independent associations reportedCross-sectional analysis does not test the effect of changing sleep
Anyang follow-up, 2020Sleep and four-year progression; no overall significant association after adjustmentObservational findings and subgroups do not prescribe a bedtime
