Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The etiology of myopia has been attributed to both genetic and environmental factors. The purpose of this paper is to attempt to distinguish between genetic and environmental factors in three generations of subjects from three locations. METHODS: Noncycloplegic autorefraction and distance visual acuity were measured in 3131 Chinese children 7 to 17 years old from Hong Kong, Tianjin, and Ban Chau. Data on...
