Why does myopia affect one sibling and not another?

A Duke University research team discovers a gene mutation causing myopia or otherwise known as near-sightedness.

This genetic condition which affects nearly 30 percent of all Americans doesn’t affect all siblings.

The condition occurs when the eye is not round but rather oval or the cornea (the lens in the front of the eye) has too much of a curvature. The condition results in blurry vision.

Using advanced gene-sequencing, the Duke team discovered a rare gene mutation in a gene called SCO2. This gene helps metabolize copper, which helps regulate oxygen in eye tissue. When this condition exists in SCO2, oxygen levels can become too high and alter the development of the eye leading to myopia.

What our many patients say

Great front staff, awesome doctor. I was in a hurry, arrived early and was seen right away. Will definitely be back.

Without a doubt, this is the best eye doctor I've ever visited. Their genuine care and attentive listening truly stand out. Not only did they work with me to ensure the perfect fit, but they also went above and beyond by seeing me after my trial pair came in to make adjustments. In my 20 years of wearing contacts, I've never received such exemplary treatment. Truly the best eye doc ever!
