Myopia is one of the most prevalent ocular conditions and is the result of a mismatch
between the power of the eye and axial length of the eye. As a result images of distant …

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 …

Most eyes start with a hypermetropic refractive error at birth, but the growth rates of the
ocular components, guided by visual cues, will slow in such a way that this refractive error …

The development of high myopia is associated with reduced scleral collagen accumulation,
scleral thinning, and loss of scleral tissue, in both humans and animal models. Reduced …

PURPOSE: To describe current concepts and available treatments for pathologic myopia.
DESIGN: Review of experimental and clinical studies. METHODS: The demography, natural …

The tree shrews are non‐rodent, primate‐like, small animals. There is increasing interest in
using them to establish animal models for medical and biological research. This review …

Myopia is one of the most prevalent ocular conditions and is the result of a mismatch
between the power of the eye and axial length of the eye. In the vast majority of cases the …

Myopia is the most common cause of visual impairment worldwide. Genetic and
environmental factors contribute to the development of myopia. Studies on the molecular …

Myopia is among the most common refractive errors and is associated with the greatest risk
of pathological outcomes. Most animals, including humans, are born with hyperopic errors …

purpose. In tree shrews, visual form deprivation produces increased axial elongation of the
deprived eye and a myopic shift in refractive state. A change in scleral extensibility (creep …
