Abstract: a study shows that learning pressure will increase the prevalence of myopia, but the degree of myopia is mainly determined by genetic factors, which accounts for more than 80%., The “Guangzhou Twin health survey project” initiated by Zhongshan eye center of Sun Yat sen University, It is the first scientific research project in China to pay attention to the health education and general survey of twins. It mainly studies the genetic susceptibility and pathogenic genes of complex eye diseases such as myopia, strabismus and color vision abnormalities affecting adolescents. Experts such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of life sciences of Peking University also participate. The children participating in the project receive free eye examination every year. “Since 2005, we have registered twins in Guangzhou. So far, we have conducted a 7-year scientific research follow-up of more than 1300 twins, most of whom are 7-15-year-old twins.” Professor He Mingguang, director of the twin eye disease research project, said., The study found that identical twins are not only similar in appearance, but also similar in myopia. One has myopia, and often the other cannot escape the “fate” of wearing glasses. Even the degree is surprisingly similar. For example, in identical twins, one is 300 degrees nearsighted, and the other is almost the same, because their genetic genes are exactly the same. According to the analysis of the eye data of these twins, it is found that genetic factors play an important role in children’s refractive state. For the depth of myopia, the role and influence of genetic factors account for more than 80%. Whether you get myopia is more related to environmental factors such as learning pressure., He Mingguang introduced that the next step of the Guangzhou Twin eye disease research project will further study the genes that are easy to cause high myopia, so as to take targeted measures to prevent and treat myopia. At the same time, it is planned to conduct a physical examination of twins over the age of 50 and study the impact of genes on chronic diseases.
