MYP2 was reported for a candidate locus associated with high grade myopia by linkage analysis, but no candidate gene has been detected. We report an association study in the Japanese population using 750 microsatellite markers on chromosome 18 that include MYP2 locus. 450 Japanese subjects with high myopia whose refractive error was greater than or equal to -9.25D in at least one eye and equal number of normal control subjects were recruited in this study. Three steps screening on the pooled DNA of patients and the pooled DNA of controls were performed in this study. A total of 722 microsatellite markers could be analyzed, and we obtained 4 positive markers. Then to avoid experimental errors and artifacts, we confirmed true allele frequency by individual genotyping using initial set of 450 patients and controls. Only marker D18S0301i showed statistically significance, and no marker showed statistically significance on the MYP2 locus. Near the marker D18S0301i, GALNT1 gene was located, but its relation to high myopia has remained to be identified.

Changes in Retinal Oxygen Saturation 1 Month After Femtosecond LASIK Treatment in Chinese Adults with Myopia.
Ophthalmol Ther
January 2025
Eye School of Chengdu, University of Traditional Medicine, Chengdu, 510100, Sichuan Province, China.
Introduction: This study aimed to compare changes in retinal oxygen saturation 1 month after femtosecond-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) in Chinese adults with myopia using retinal oximetry.
Methods: In this prospective, observational, single-center cohort study, Chinese adults aged 18-45 years with myopia were categorized into four groups according to spherical equivalent (SE), with 66 eyes characterized as low myopia (LM -3.00D < SE ≤ -0.
Axial length to corneal curvature radius ratio is negatively correlated with choroidal blood flow in myopic children.
Front Ophthalmol (Lausanne)
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China.
Background: The pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying early-onset myopia remain unclear; in this study, we investigate the pathogenesis by examining the interrelationships between axial length to corneal curvature radius ratio ( ) and choroidal blood flow.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 202 eyes from myopic children, categorized into 141 eyes with mild myopia, 47 eyes with moderate myopia, and 14 eyes with high myopia. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was used to measure choroidal blood flow perfusion within a 6 mm × 6 mm area of the macular region, divided into nine subareas based on ETDRS partitioning: macular fovea, nasal side 1, superior 1, temporal side 1, inferior 1, nasal side 2, superior 2, temporal side 2, and inferior 2.

The association between sleep duration and myopia among Chinese school-age students: mediation effect of physical activity.
Front Public Health
January 2025
Department of Health Management, School of Public Health, Nantong University, Nantong, China.
Background: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep duration and myopia in school-age students, as well as to observe the role of physical activity as a mediating variable in sleep duration and myopia.
Methods: Using multistage stratified sampling, 26,020 school-age students in Jiangsu Province, ages 7-18, were selected for this cross-sectional survey. Each participant completed a standardized interview in which their were asked about their vision, level of physical activity and average hours of sleep per day over the past month.

Aim: To investigate the effect of 0.01% low-concentration atropine (LA) on quantitative contrast sensitivity function (qCSF) in children with myopia.
Methods: This paired case-control study included 90 eyes of 58 children who were sex-, age-, and refraction-matched and equally divided into two groups: the 0.
