Axial length: an underestimated endophenotype of myopia.

Medical hypotheses - 1 Feb 2010

Meng Weihua, Butterworth Jacqueline, Malecaze Francois, Calvas Patrick

Abstract excerpt

Myopia is a major threat for vision health across the world. Around 1 in 4 in the West and over 3 in 4 in the East are suffering from this common eye disorder. It is a complex trait affected by both genetic and environmental determinants. Axial length is an essential man-made parameter generated from ocular biometric components. It represents a combination of anterior chamber depth, lens thickness and vitreous...
