Association between birth weight and refractive error in adulthood: a Mendelian randomisation study.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests lower BW within the normal range is causally associated with a more myopic refractive error. However, the impact of the causal effect was modest (range 1.00 D covering approximately 95% of the population). PMID: 31097437 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
