Abstract
The fact that Chinese have a high occurrence of myopia and the toxicity of ornithine to retinal epithelial cells raised our interest to investigate the serum ornithine levels in high myopic patients. After analyzing several hundred patients, no significant difference in the serum ornithine level was found between Chinese and non-Chinese.
