Qiao Fan et al. report a genome-wide association analysis of corneal curvature—an important measurement for identifying vision problems, such as myopia—in more than 45,000 individuals of either European or Asian ancestry. They identify 47 loci, 26 of which are novel, with some showing population-specific effects and pleiotropic effects on eye elongation and myopia.
