Visual - High myopia

Vision

High myopia is severe nearsightedness, usually defined as a refractive error of -6 diopters or worse. It carries higher risks of eye complications.

GWAS work has identified variants linked to high myopia, including signals in eye-development and connective-tissue genes.

This result reflects research-level variation in eye biology and is not an eye exam or vision prescription.

Time outdoors in childhood, near work, screen time, and overall eye care all strongly affect actual myopia development.

DNA Genics reports genotypes based on the 'positive' strand of the human genome reference sequence (build 37/HG19). Other companies may use the opposite strand, so genotypes may need conversion for comparison.
