Do sex, ethnic origin or environment affect myopia?
The degree of myopia was investigated in males and females from the same ethnic group who were raised in the same environment, in subjects from the same origin who were raised in extremely different environments, and in subjects coming from different ethnic groups. No statistically significant differences were found between these groups. Most probably the degree of myopia is not influenced just by sex or ethnic origin or environmental conditions.
