Although the association of the presence of any actively dental caries with any myopia (low and high) was not significant in the crude model, the association was marginally significant in model 1 (OR and 95% CI 1.33 [0.98–1.81]) and was significant in Model 2 (OR: 1.42 [1.04–1.94]), probably due to the presence of confounders between the myopic groups.
