摘要
近视在生理上表现为屈光不正。亚洲人群的近视发生率与几十年前相比迅速增加,而我国较发达的城市中多数人口已经或正在成为近视。近年来的研究已经报道了6种近视相关基因。从中国现代化进程和近视人口的迅速增长角度看,这种远远打破遗传平衡的变化已经不能用简单的基因突变或者孟德尔遗传来解释。城乡差别和受教育程度的比较可见,近视的成因受环境和基因两个方面的影响。近视直接关系国家发展和民族的健康,应当是全社会共同关注的一个重要课题。
The physiological manifestation of myopia is error of refraction. The incidence of myopia in Asian population is increasing much more rapidly compared with several decades ago. Most of the people in the relatively developed Chinese cities are developing or have developed myopia. Recently, researches reported six loci related to myopia. Viewing from the modern civilization and development of China, the sharp increase of the size of the population with myopia and the unbalanced change could not be explained only by gene mutation or any model of Mendelian inheritance. The comparison of the disparity of the economic and educational levels between in urban and rural areas showed that the onset of myopia might be influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. Special attention should be paid to myopia now to prevent severe physical problem in the Chinese urban population.
