A<br />

new study has found<br />

that identical twins<br />

have identical vision.<br />

Researchers at Anglia Ruskin<br />

University discovered the results<br />

after examining the vision of 69 sets of twins,<br />

36 of whom are identical twins. The results showed<br />

that identical twins shared identical defects, even<br />

in over-50s where environmental factors may have<br />

normally influenced these aberrations.<br />

Brazilian twin sisters Maria Pignaton<br />

Pontin and Paulina Pignaton<br />

Pandolfi have reached fame after<br />

photos from their birthday photo shoot<br />

went viral on social media.<br />

The twins have recently turned 100<br />

and they celebrated with a party surrounded<br />

by friends and family. The pair<br />

have 11 children between them, as well<br />

as a combined 54 grandchildren and<br />

great grandchildren! The images were<br />

captured by photographer Camila Lima<br />

as a birthday gift to them.<br />

Sun Yutong and Sun Yumeng, identical<br />

twins from Nanjing, have ticked<br />

Harvard off their bucket list. The<br />

twins graduated from Harvard Graduate<br />

School of Education with masters' degrees<br />

and live-streamed the experience<br />

to over 170,000 internet users worldwide.<br />

The twins first reached notoriety<br />

last <strong>May</strong> when they graduated from<br />

Shanghai's Fudan University.<br />
