  • Title: [Concordance for myopia and discordance for optic disk cupping in a pair of monozygotic twins].
    Author: Edmund J, Goldschmidt E.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1988 Dec; 193(6):645-6. PubMed ID: 3221661.
    Abstract:
    Of a pair of monozygotic twins who are both myopic, only twin B has an optic nerve pit in her left eye. At the age of 19 her visual acuity was reduced due to macular edema. Three years later, krypton laser coagulation treatment produced an appreciable improvement. Although both twins are myopic, the anisomyopia observed illustrates the influence of environment on ocular refraction.
