Introduction: To report one brother and sister with mirror image myopic anisometropia Methods:Sister was 10 years 11 months old and brother was 8 years 4 months old. There was a myopic anisometropia in the right eye of sister and myopic anisometropia in the left eye of brother. Results:The full ophthalmic examinations were performed and the cycloplegic refraction was done. The differences in refractive power (spherical equivalent) between both eyes were -12.5 in sister and -6.975 diopter in brother, respectively. The anisometropic amblyopia was found in both of them. The abnormal ocular movement was not recognized and fundus was shown no specific findings. Conclusion:The co-occurrence of severe myopic anisometropia in brother and sister is extremely rare. The present case suggests that severe myopic anisometropia may be related by genetic inheritance.
