Myopia is the most common refractive error,which seriously damages the visual health of adolescents.The current research on the pathogenesis of myopia mainly focuses on genetics,visual environment,biochemical mechanism and so on.Neurotransmitters,as important mediators of refractive development,form complex regulatory networks and participate in molecular synthesis and metabolic activities related to myopia.Intraocular neurotransmitters affect scleral re-modeling by regulating the growth of retinal pigment epithelium and the thickness of choroid and play an important role in the occurrence and development of myopia.This paper reviews the role of cholines,amines,amino acids,peptides and other neurotransmitters in the pathogenesis of myopia,providing new ideas for the prevention and control of myopia.
