摘　　要：The Guangzhou Twin Eye Study(GTES)is a cohort of twins living in South China that has been longitudinally followed for more than 15 years.This study has extensively investigated the heritability of myopia and the influence of environmental factors,producing significant and far-reaching impacts.GTES has found a high heritability of axial length and peripheral refraction,the significant role of education in myopia progression,and established prediction model for myopia onset and progression.The study has also explore the impact of both genetic and environmental factors on myopia development.By reviewing the major findings on myopia from the GTES,we hope to better inform public health strategies and clinical practices aimed at mitigating the global myopia epidemic.
