Myopic axial elongation is associated with various non-pathological changes. These include
a decrease in photoreceptor cell and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell density and …

The results of many studies in a variety of species have significantly advanced our
understanding of the role of visual experience and the mechanisms of postnatal eye growth …

Worldwide, myopia is the leading cause of visual impairment. It results from inappropriate
extension of the ocular axis and concomitant declines in scleral strength and thickness …

As with other organs, the eye's growth is regulated by homeostatic control mechanisms.
Unlike other organs, the eye relies on vision as a principal input to guide growth. In this …

Myopia is a very common ocular problem, affecting perhaps one billion people worldwide.
Most myopia is produced by lengthening of the vitreous chamber of the ocular globe. High …

purpose. Because of the prominence of central vision in primates, it has generally been
assumed that signals from the fovea dominate refractive development. To test this …

Purpose. Excessive axial elongation of the eye is the principal structural cause of myopia.
The increase in eye size results from active remodelling of the sclera, producing a …

Refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism) are complex heterogeneous
disorders of the human eye and are ideal for genetic investigation. Moderate to severe …

Purpose.: To investigate the association between serum vitamin D levels and myopia in
young adults. Methods.: A total of 946 individuals participating in the 20-year follow-up of the …

Introduction Axial length (AL) elongation in myopia is considered irreversible. We aimed to
systemically report unexpected AL shortening observed in a randomized clinical trial (RCT) …
