Analysis of genealogic data of 100 patients addressed on occasion of myopia in 1987-1988 has shown that in 85% of the subjects myopia was of a clearly hereditary character (in 35%--a dominant and in 50%--a recessive hereditary). The author compares his own results with literature data and draws attention to Steiger's views about formation of myopic refraction and the role of hereditary factor in this process. In the light of the mentioned data, the author considers it expedient to work out a programme of special researches for development of a method of prognosticating initial myopia and a correction of several ways for approbation of existing methods of prevention of progressive myopia.
对1987 - 1988年因近视前来就诊的100例患者的系谱数据分析表明，85%的受试者近视具有明显的遗传特征（35%为显性遗传，50%为隐性遗传）。作者将自己的结果与文献数据进行了比较，并提请注意施泰格关于近视性屈光形成以及遗传因素在此过程中的作用的观点。根据上述数据，作者认为制定一项特殊研究计划是适宜的，该计划旨在开发一种预测初始近视的方法，并修正几种验证现有预防进行性近视方法的途径。
