A posterior staphyloma is an outpouching of a circumscribed region of the posterior fundus
and has been considered a hallmark of pathologic myopia. Occurring in highly myopic eyes …

The global prevalence of myopia, or nearsightedness, has increased at an alarming rate
over the last few decades. An eye is myopic if incoming light focuses prior to reaching the …

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 …

Background: The process of emmetropization is the adjustment of the length of the optical
axis to the given optical properties of the cornea and lens after the end of the second year of …

In infant tree shrews, exposure to narrow-band long-wavelength (red) light, that stimulates
long-wavelength sensitive cones almost exclusively, slows axial elongation and produces …

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) …

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 …

Myopia is the most common type of refractive errors and one of the world's leading causes of
blindness. Visual manipulations in animal models have provided convincing evidence for …

Shortly after birth, the eyes of most animals (including humans) are hyperopic because the
short axial length places the retina in front of the focal plane. During postnatal development …

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