Myopia and colour vision: potential impact of colour vision gene variation on susceptibility to myopia

近年来，近视的发病率呈快速上升趋势，但其根本原因仍不清楚。我们最近对严重近视二色性的研究表明，某些形式的近视可能是由于视网膜视锥色素和视锥光感受器的排列变化而引起的，这些变化影响了图像形成和眼睛伸长之间的反馈回路。本研究试图在具有正常色觉的近视患者中详细探讨这种联系。

The frequency of myopia has shown a rapid increase in recent years but the underlying cause remains largely unknown. Our recent work on severe myopia with dichromacy has indicated that some forms of myopia may arise through changes in cone visual pigments and the arrangement of cone photoreceptors in the retina which impact on the feedback loop between image formation and eye elongation. This study seeks to explore this link in detail in myopia patients that possess normal colour vision.
