High heritability of myopia does not preclude rapid changes in prevalence

“…Depending upon how effective emmetropization is, there may be a low prevalence of myopia due to the biological variation inherent in such a complex process. Myopia can also be caused by visual form‐deprivation during early development, 2 although it is likely that the prevalence of this condition is very low. Myopia, particularly high myopia, also occurs in association with rare connective tissue disorders such as Marfan’ syndrome 3 and Stickler syndrome, 4 and with a range of other well‐defined genetic disorders of eye development 5−7 .…”
