Assessing Behavioral Factors in Myopia: Development of a Visual Activity Survey
… To conduct a systematic review on near work and myopia and to develop and provide scoring guidelines for the University of Houston Near Work, Environment, Activity, and Refractive Error (UH NEAR) Survey, a comprehensive visual activity survey to aid researchers and clinicians in identifying and …

Peripheral Refractive Error and its Association with Myopia Development and Progression. An examination of the role that peripheral retinal defocus may play in the origin and progression of myopia
Purpose: Currently there are attempts to slow myopia progression by manipulating peripheral refractive error. This study proposed to establish the distribution of peripheral refractive errors in hyperopic, emmetropic and myopic children and to test the hypothesis that relative peripheral hyperopia …

Refractive error, ocular biometry and oculomotor function: The prevalence of myopia and its potential risk factors in the Middle East, with an investigation of dynamic accommodation responses and axial length fluctuations in young myopic adults.
… in young myopic adults. The prevalence of myopia in 3000 Middle Eastern adults (age range 17-40 years) was similar to previously reported levels of myopia in the West. Myopia was associated with a higher level of education, occupations with a high nearwork demand and positive family history …

The Labrador Retriever as a Model of Naturally Occurring Myopia: Genetic and Environmental Contributions
… dog as an animal model of naturally occurring myopia by identifying genetic and environmental factors which are associated with myopia development in the Labrador Retriever. Methods: A large pedigree of Labrador Retrievers was phenotyped for refractive error. Using statistical (familial …
