Vitamin D and Myopia

Origins of Refractive Errors: Environmental and Genetic Factors

“…In a case series of myopic children, Laval (1938) first investigated the effect of vitamin D on eye growth and the impact of its deficiency on myopia (for a review, see Pan et al (2017). The negative result reported therein is consistent with many but not all recent findings.…”

Myopia Is Associated With Lower Vitamin D Status in Young Adults

“…In the 1930s and 1940s, several researchers investigated the association of myopia with vitamin D status both experimentally and clinically. 8 Recently, Mutti and Marks 9 proposed that decreasing population-level vitamin D status (measured by the concentration in blood of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]) may be associated with the rising prevalence of myopia. In a small cohort of 22 participants, after adjustment for age and dietary intake, myopes had lower 25(OH)D concentrations than nonmyopes.…”

Vitamins in Eye Work

“…Laval 38 reports having studied 48 myopic patients for from three to six years. In every case the patients were taking vitamin D and milk continuously.…”
