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 …

As the eye's main load-bearing connective tissue, the sclera is centrally important to vision.
In addition to cooperatively maintaining refractive status with the cornea, the sclera must …

A large body of data is available to support the hypothesis that dopamine (DA) is one of the
retinal neurotransmitters involved in the signaling cascade that controls eye growth by …

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 …

Purpose.: This prospective study was conducted to assess the influence of overnight
orthokeratology (OK) on axial elongation in children, with those wearing spectacles as …

Purpose To investigate if the combination of partial reduction (PR) orthokeratology (ortho-k)
and spectacles for residual refractive errors in the daytime was effective to slow myopic …

Purpose.: Bifocal contact lenses were used to impose hyperopic and myopic defocus on the
peripheral retina of marmosets. Eye growth and refractive state were compared with …

purpose. Given the prominence of central vision in humans, it has been assumed that visual
signals from the fovea dominate emmetropization. The purpose of this study was to examine …

Purpose To conduct a meta-analysis on the effects of orthokeratology in slowing myopia
progression. Methods A literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, and the …

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 …
