Association of hyperopia with incident clinically significant depression: epidemiological and genetic evidence in the middle-aged and older population

Hyperopia was significantly associated with an increased risk of incident CSD. This was independent of genetic predisposition to hyperopia, emphasising the importance of regular vision screening and correction of hyperopia to reduce the risk of CSD regardless of genetic risk.
