Abstract excerpt

AIMS: To estimate the heritability for ocular refraction and its determiners in a population based cohort of 20-45 years old twins. METHODS: 114 twin pairs (53 monozygotic and 61 dizygotic) participated. Refraction was determined in cycloplegia and eye dimensions were measured with ultrasound. Educational length was assessed. The heritability was estimated employing aetiological model fitting. Evidence of...
