Our current understanding of the development of refractive errors, in particular myopia,
would be substantially limited had Wiesel and Raviola not discovered by accident that …

Recent epidemiological evidence in children indicates that time spent outdoors is protective
against myopia. Studies in animal models (chick, macaque, tree shrew) have found that light …

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 …

Purpose To determine whether elevated light levels in classrooms in rural areas can protect
school‐age children from myopia onset or myopia progression. Methods A total of 317 …

Purpose: Exposure to high-intensity or outdoor lighting has been shown to decrease the
severity of myopia in both human epidemiological studies and animal models. Currently, it is …

Many ocular processes show diurnal oscillations that optimize retinal function under the
different conditions of ambient illumination encountered over the course of the 24 h …

Exposure to sunlight has recently been postulated as responsible for the effect that more
time spent outdoors protects children from myopia, while early life exposure to natural light …
