Observational study analyzes myopia progression in twins, showing differences in refractive changes over time.
The refractive state of each member of a pair of fraternal (binovular) twins was determined annually between the ages of 9 and 15. Both became approximately 6.00 D myopic: the girl became 0.50 D more myopic and ceased to increase in myopia about two years earlier.
