The cone electroretinograms (ERGs) to different chromatic stimuli were recorded in myopic subjects. Ganzfeld color flashes under bright white background illumination were used to elicit short-wavelength-sensitive (S-), and mixed long-(L-) and middle-(M-) wavelength-sensitive cone ERGs. Nineteen subjects with mild myopia (between -3.0 and -6.0 D), 12 subjects with high myopia (greater than -6.25...

PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship among single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in steroidogenesis enzyme genes, serum levels of sex steroids, and high myopia in Taiwanese male and female populations. METHODS A campus-based sample of 283 cases (145 males and 138 females) with high myopia and 280 controls (144 males and 136 females) with low myopia or emmetropia was studied. Estradiol, proge...

BACKGROUND To determine the influences of myopia and optic disc size on ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness profiles obtained by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS One hundred and sixty-eight eyes of 168 young myopic subjects were recruited and assigned to one of three groups according to their spher...
