Risk Factors for Myopia and Hyperopia in Pre-Schoolers

"Age, race and maternal smoking are associated with the development of myopia and hyperopia in preschool children." That was a recent post on the OSNSupersite. "'Given that both myopia and hyperopia are risk factors for the development of amblyopia and strabismus, these risk indicators should be considered when developing guidelines for screening and intervention in preschool children,' Mark S. Borchert, MD, and colleagues said in the poster presented at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting."
