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.

近视及相关疾病家庭的临床和分子研究 这项研究将检查不同国籍和种族背景的家庭中近视的遗传情况，以确定导致近视或类似疾病的基因变化，并更好地了解这些情况。近视患者的眼睛无法将光线准确地聚焦在视网膜（眼睛后部的组织）上，因此远处的物体显得模糊。近视可能单独发生，也可能与其他视力问题（例如视网膜脱位、白内障或青光眼）或其他问题（例如关节或皮肤问题）同时发生。
