Scientific Process
Myopia affects 30% of Americans.
Out of those with myopia, 30% have "high myopia" which can cause glaucoma and retinal detachments.
My Idea for a Cure
Current Treatments:
Replace the genes responsible for myopia with the segment of human DNA that enables normal vision using gene therapy.
