Why Some Kids Respond Better to Myopia Lenses? Genes Might Hold the Answer
 New genetic research is shedding light on why some children benefit more than others from orthokeratology lenses--an increasingly popular method to slow the progression of myopia. In the largest genome-wide study of its kind, scientists discovered that children who responded better to treatment carried a higher number of nonsynonymous mutations in genes associated with retinal diseases. Among the key players identified were RIMS2 and LCA5, genes involved in retinal function and visual processing. These insights not only reveal a biological basis for the variability in treatment outcomes but also pave the way for using genetic screening to personalize myopia management in young patients.
