Impact of Heredity in Myopia

1 Jan 1991

Abstract excerpt

A series of 109 like-sexed twin pairs in the age group 30-31 years (54 monozygotic and 55 dizygotic) with one or both members of the twins with myopia was found in the Finnish Twin Cohort. The series was based on a random sample of 1,200 twins in one age stratum of the cohort. The twins received a questionnaire on their health status with special reference to eye diseases and symptoms. The refractive status of...
