Update on the epidemiology and genetics of myopic refractive error

2013-02-01

Abstract excerpt

While myopia is an increasingly common refractive error worldwide, its prevalence is greatest in urbanized regions in east Asia. Myopia is a complex multifactorial ocular disorder governed by both genetic and environmental factors and possibly their interplay. Evidence for a genetic role in myopia has been derived from studies of syndromal myopia, familial correlation studies and linkage analyses. More recently, c...
