Abstract

A patent application titled "Composition And Functional Food For Preventing Myopia" has been published online. The inventors discuss the racial differences in the frequency of myopia, with Asians, especially Japanese individuals, having a higher rate of myopia. They highlight the importance of suppressing axial elongation in the growth period to prevent myopia and associated eye diseases. The inventors propose an ophthalmic composition containing crocetin, Ginkgo biloba leaf extract, and other ingredients as a potential method for preventing or treating myopia and ocular diseases. They also suggest a screening method to identify substances that enhance the expression of myopia-related genes. [Extracted from the article]
