The Myopia Research Group is involved in a variety of innovative basic science and clinical trial research investigating various aspects of myopia. These include identifying risk factors and genetic profiles associated with myopia development, the impact of myopia on quality of life, risk of development of associated diseases and interventions to slow the progression or prevent myopia development.
