Heritability of corneal refraction and corneal astigmatism: a population‐based twin study among 66‐ to 79‐year‐old female twins

26 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To examine the heritability of corneal refraction power (CR) and corneal astigmatism (AST) in older women. METHODS: Corneal refraction and AST were measured by IOL master in 52 monozygotic (MZ) and 47 dizygotic (DZ) female twin pairs aged 66-79 years. The relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to individual differences in CR was estimated by applying an independent pathway model to...
