Yes but what you tried to imply (europeans/east asians at the top) doesn't seem to be confirmed. This is also what your sources say :
In the Tehran Eye Study, the prevalence of myopia using cycloplegic autorefraction was 29.3% among young adults aged 16–25 years [36]. In Australia, the prevalence of myopia was 20.4% in a population-based cohort using cycloplegic autorefraction in mostly White subjects aged 19–22 years [60].In the Sydney Adolescent Vascular and Eye Study (SAVES), myopia was present in 30.8%, with 59.1% in East Asian, 17.7% in European Caucasian, and 34.9% in other ethnicity group;In Europe, the prevalence of myopia and HM (SE <−6.50 D) among 4681 Danish conscripts was 12.8% and 0.3%, respectively [61].
As you can see many countries like India, pakistan or Iran have higher rates of myopia than many european countries (Nigeria even has more than Greece) :
also they don't really seem sure about which factor predominates in one study it's genetic in the other it's environmental :
In one study conducted in China, the prevalence of myopia in postgraduates was higher than in undergraduates [56], suggesting that associated factors, such as higher school achievement and prolonged near-work and less outdoor time, might contribute to the increasing prevalence of myopia

That would mean the hypothesis is incorrect.
There are other things that could support hereditarianism - for example, transracial adoption studies which exist.
Both genetics and environment contribute to it, that's what most studies say. Prevalence of myopia being higher among postgraduates than among undergraduates can also be because people with higher IQ myopic genes are more likely to succeed in education.also they don't really seem sure about which factor predominates in one study it's genetic in the other it's environmental :
