We made a study of 106 women in childbirth from our hospital with myopia for the period from 2003 to 2003. Vaginal delivery have had 38 and Cesarean delivery 68 (64.2%). Only 18 women have had severe myopia (more than 6 d.), which is equal to 17%. We consider that the myopia is an ungrounded common indication for Caesarian section.

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a medical eye emergency that can lead to loss of vision, especially if not promptly treated. High myopia, retinal holes or tears, previous surgery, and trauma have been identified as risk factors for developing RRD. Although some obstetricians may believe labor or vaginal delivery increases the risk for RRD, there has been no significant evidence in the literature to support a correlation.

What to expect when you are expecting: Are health care consumers forward-looking?
J Health Econ

Department of Economics, Stanford University, United States. Electronic address:
A fundamental question in health insurance markets is how do health care consumers dynamically optimize their medical utilization under non-linear insurance contracts? Our paper tests the neoclassical prediction that a fully forward-looking agent only responds to their expected end-of-year price. Our unique identification strategy studies families during the year of childbirth who will likely satisfy their annual deductible, thereby knowing their expected end-of-year price. We find that during the year of a childbirth, fathers increase medical spending by 11% per month after their deductible is satisfied, rejecting the null of fully forward-looking consumers.
