Clinical and Molecular Studies in Families with Myopia and Related Diseases This study will examine the inheritance of myopia in families of various nationalities and ethnic backgrounds to identify gene changes that cause myopia or similar diseases and to better understand these conditions. In patients with myopia, the eye does not focus light accurately on the retina (tissue that lines the back of the eye), so that objects at a distance appear blurry. Myopia may occur alone, with other vision problems such as retinal dislocations, cataract or glaucoma, or with other problems such as joint or skin problems.

近视和相关疾病的家庭的临床和分子研究 这项研究将研究近视在各种国籍和种族背景的家庭中的遗传，以识别导致近视或类似疾病的基因变化，并更好地理解这些疾病。在近视患者中，眼睛不会准确地聚焦在视网膜上（将眼睛背面的组织线条），因此距离处的物体显得模糊。近视可能单独发生，其他视力问题，例如视网膜错位，白内障或青光眼，或其他问题，例如关节或皮肤问题。
