OBJECTIVE: To examine genetic influences for quantitative refraction. Spherical equivalent and its related binary traits of myopia and hyperopia are highly correlated within families. Many linkage regions have been reported for myopia, high myopia, and quantitative refraction. However, the measured phenotype of spherical equivalent is in large part dictated by the relationship between the underlying optical...
