Abstract

: Purpose-

To study the levels of Serum 25-OH Vitamin D in myopic young adults

Results.

In the Myopic study group (n=100), 30 % had Pre-Myopia, 40 % had Low- myopia and 30 % had High Myopia. Serum- 25-OH Vitamin D levelswere significantly different between Cases and Controls, with lower levels measured in Myopia (p<0.01). Age and gender correlation was not significant in this study with 25-OH Vitamin D levels in myopia . Status of Insufficiency and Deficiency of 25- OH Vitamin D levels was significantly higher in high myopes. CONCLUSIONS. Low serum 25(OH) Vitamin D levels was found to be associated with myopia in young adults. The fall in levels of 25-OH Vitamin D level was directly proportional to the increasing severity of myopia.
