Genome-wide meta-analyses of multiancestry cohorts identify multiple new susceptibility loci for refractive error and myopia

Virginie J. M. Verhoeven, +128 more
- 01 Mar 2013 - 
TL;DR: The CREAM consortium conducted genome-wide meta-analyses, which identified 16 new loci for refractive error in individuals of European ancestry and 8 were shared with Asians, and identified 8 additional associated loci.
Journal ArticleDOI

Time outdoors and physical activity as predictors of incident myopia in childhood: A prospective cohort study

TL;DR: Time spent outdoors was predictive of incident myopia independently of physical activity level, and the greater association observed for time outdoors suggests that the previously reported link between "sports/outdoor activity" and incidentMyopia is due mainly to its capture of information relating to time outdoors rather than physical activity.
Journal Article

Form-Deprivation Myopia Induces Activation of Scleral Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 in Tree Shrew

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that form-deprivation myopia and recovery from myopia alter scleral catabolism and provide further support for the theory that changes in eye size during mammalian refractive development are the result of active tissue remodeling rather than passive sCleral stretching alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Education and myopia: assessing the direction of causality by mendelian randomisation

TL;DR: This study shows that exposure to more years in education contributes to the rising prevalence of myopia, and increasing the length of time spent in education may inadvertently increase the prevalence ofMyopia and potential future visual disability.
