Axial length (AL) elongation is the major factor in the development of myopia so it is of great importance to study its growth pattern and mechanism. Factors like age, gender, height, parental myopia, and near work were found to have an influence on AL growth. AL combined with the above factors and other ocular parameters could be of value in predicting the onset of myopia. This article summarizes the risk factors for AL and the predictive value of AL for myopia.
