Brief description Shortsightedness (myopia) is the most common visual disorder. High myopia is associated with an increased risk of eye diseases. Current treatments do not stop myopia developing or decrease the associated risk of eye disease. The continued worsening of myopia is very concerning. A safe effective treatment that can either prevent myopia or stop its progression to extreme levels is needed. We have data showing that GABA ergic drugs modify myopia. This proposal will determine the mechanisms.
