1. A computer-implemented method for estimating future axial elongation of an individual's eye comprising:
receiving, via an interface at a computer, data relating to refractive change in a prior pre-determined time period for the individual from a prior date to a current date, the current date being a reference timepoint;
receiving, via the interface, data representing an age of the individual and data representing a current axial length value of the eye of the individual as measured at the reference timepoint;
predicting and calculating, by a processor of said computer, a future axial elongation of the eye of the individual represented by a numerical value as a function of the age of the individual, the current axial length value of the eye of the individual as measured at the reference timepoint, and said refractive change in the prior pre-determined time period; and
generating, an output indication of said predicted future axial elongation of the eye of the individual via the interface including said numerical value.
