Development of refractive errors - what can we learn from inherited retinal dystrophies? [PDF]
, 2017 PURPOSE: It is unknown which retinal cells are involved in the retina-to-sclera signaling cascade causing myopia. As inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) are characterized by dysfunction of a single retinal cell type and have a high risk of refractive ...

Changes in forward light scatter parameters as a function of refractive error in young adults [PDF]
, 2020 Background/aims Some aspects of visual performance worsen with increasing myopia. Whilst the underlying causes are not always clear, reduction in retinal image quality is often attributed to structural changes in the posterior myopic eye.

Genome-wide analysis points to roles for extracellular matrix remodeling, the visual cycle, and neuronal development in myopia [PDF]
, 2012 Myopia, or nearsightedness, is the most common eye disorder, resulting primarily from excess elongation of the eye. The etiology of myopia, although known to be complex, is poorly understood. Here we report the largest ever genome-wide association study (

Acircularity and circularity indexes of the foveal avascular zone in high myopia
Scientific Reports, 2021 This study explored the association between foveal avascular zone (FAZ) parameters and high myopia using optical coherence tomography angiography. We divided 106 eyes of 106 patients into quartiles based on the axial length.
