Abstract: hyperopia and astigmatism are also related to heredity. Hyperopia is not prominent in children because children’s eyes have strong focusing ability and can effectively overcome it. When the age increases, the adjustment ability of the eyes decreases, and hyperopia will appear., Scientists at St. Thomas Hospital in London found that 85% of myopia patients are caused by heredity. In addition, a lot of reading is also an important factor causing vision loss., Scientists came to this conclusion after studying 500 pairs of twins. Before the study, they hypothesized that if myopia is mainly caused by heredity, identical twins with the same genetic gene should be myopia at the same time; If myopia is mainly caused by the environment, even if identical twins grow up together, they may not be myopia at the same time. The results show that the rate of myopia in identical twins is much higher than that in non identical twins., Astigmatism and genetic relationship “width =” 400 “height =” 300 “SRC =” / / img jianke. com/article/201508/20150826165239220. Jpg “/ >, Dr. Christopher Hammond, an ophthalmologist who participated in the study, believes that having a gene prone to myopia does not necessarily mean myopia, and a lot of reading the day after tomorrow is also an important factor leading to myopia. He said: “Everyone has a little hyperopia at birth. With age, their eyesight will gradually adjust to normal. However, if this adjustment process goes too far, people will suffer from myopia. Now people don’t know why this happens, but genes related to myopia have been found, which may help people understand the cause. In this way, if children are found to have this in the future The mutated genes can be targeted and timely preventive measures can be taken. “, In addition, the study also found that hyperopia and astigmatism are also genetically related. Hyperopia is not prominent in children because children’s eyes have strong focusing ability and can effectively overcome it. When the age increases, the adjustment ability of the eyes decreases, and hyperopia will appear. Astigmatism is caused by uneven curvature of cornea or lens, and 50% of patients are related to heredity. Dr. Hammond said that the above findings are exciting. They open the way for further searching for relevant pathogenic genes and will lay a foundation for people to finally understand the genetic mechanism of the above eye diseases., Scientists at
St. Thomas Hospital in London, UK, found that 85% of myopia patients are caused by heredity. In addition, a lot of reading is also an important factor causing vision loss.
