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 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 …

Myopia is the most common type of refractive errors characterized by excessive elongation
of the ocular globe. With the increasing prevalence of myopia, improved knowledge of …

The choroid is a vascular tissue which plays a range of critical roles in the normal physiology
of the eye, such as supplying the outer retina with oxygen and nutrients and the regulation of …

Myopia is a very common ocular problem, affecting perhaps one billion people worldwide.
Most myopia is produced by lengthening of the vitreous chamber of the ocular globe. High …

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 …

Myopia is a common ocular condition, characterized by excessive elongation of the ocular
globe. The prevalence of myopia continues to increase, particularly among highly educated …

Early in life, the two eyes of infant primates normally grow in a coordinated manner toward
the ideal refractive state. We investigated the extent to which lens-induced changes in the …

The choroid is the richly vascular layer of the eye located between the sclera and Bruch's
membrane. Early studies in animals, as well as more recent studies in humans, have …

purpose. The development of high myopia is associated with scleral thinning and changes
in the diameter of scleral collagen fibrils in humans. In the present study, the association …
