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 …

Best practice clinical guidelines for myopia control involve an understanding of the
epidemiology of myopia, risk factors, visual environment interventions, and optical and …

Purpose.: Timespent in “sports/outdoor activity” has shown a negative association with
incident myopia during childhood. We investigated the association of incident myopia with …

Purpose Despite extensive research, mechanisms regulating postnatal eye growth and
those responsible for ametropias are poorly understood. With the marked recent increases …

Chinese tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) possess many features valuable in
animals used as experimental models in biomedical research. Currently, there are …

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 …

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 …

Because the study of visual development is pursued by workers in many disciplines, from
medicine to basic science, I have tried to write this book at a level at which it can be …

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 tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) is a promising laboratory animal that possesses a closer
genetic relationship to primates than to rodents. In addition, advantages such as small size …
