Myopia is the most common optical disorder in the world, and is on
the rise in many countries, particularly in East Asia. The impact
of myopia is evident as the driving force in the development of
refractive surgery and of the spectacle and contact lens
industries. While myopia is often seen as a childhood disease that
involves complex genetic-environmental factors, it is also a major
cause of adult blindness. In Singapore (where myopia has reached
one of the highest rates in the world) as well as in Taiwan, Japan
and Hong Kong, affected patients have greater severity of myopia,
leading to additional secondary complications such as glaucoma.This
book provides a comprehensive coverage of all aspects of myopia. It
is aimed at ophthalmologists, optometrists, opticians, scientists
and pharmaceutical companies. The topics are uniquely treated in
that they cover research at the laboratory bench as well as
clinical applications and population-based approaches in
epidemiology.
