A representative sample of Hong Kong Chinese children was followed from 7 to 12 years of age. Refractive error was measured every year (n = 123 at age 7 years and n = 83 at age 12 years), the axial le...
Investigations into the plasticity of eye growth and refractive error development have significantly expanded our knowledge of animal models of myopia in the last 15 yr. The applicability of this info...
PURPOSE: To report the frequency of adult-onset myopia in a large cohort of Caucasian twins that were assessed as part of the Genes in Myopia (GEM) twin study and to quantify the genetic contribution ...
The causal part of weakened accommodation in the formation of myopia is linked with the visual activity at near-distance. Feeble accommodation can be caused by a morphological deficiency of the ciliar...
None of the numerous methods for optic and drug treatment of the accommodation cramp effectively arrests it without long tiresome training or atropine, which limits visual working capacity for a long ...
BACKGROUND. We conducted a study to compare variables in children who were initially emmetropic and became myopic to those in children who remained emmetropic. This paper examines parental history of ...
OBJECTIVE: It was the aim of this study to assess the role of birth weight in the development of myopia using a large cohort of Caucasian monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins that took part in th...
OBJECTIVE: A consensus regarding whether a "myopia body stature" exists is still unclear with previous literature being inconsistent and conflicting. We wished to explore the relationship of body stat...
