The CHRONOPIA project investigates the relationship between circadian rhythms and myopia development. It aims to understand how sleep patterns influence eye growth and refractive errors, using mouse models to explore underlying molecular mechanisms.
Myopia or short-sightedness is a refractive error caused by excessive eyeball elongation, resulting in distant objects appearing blurry.
Its global prevalence is increasing rapidly and is estimated to affect half of the global population by 2050.
Several recent studies have suggested a link between circadian rhythms and eye development.
An analysis at the Estonian Biobank revealed a robust association between myopia and an individuals sleep timing preference, or chronotype.
