Abstract

Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured in one-hundred-twenty-three 6- to 7-year-old Chinese children. Children who had at least one myopic parent had higher IOP's than children with two nonmyopic parents. There was a trend for myopic children to have higher IOP's than nonmyopic children.
