  The Involvement of the Retina in the Development of Myopia in a Model Eye of Chicks
  Author(s): Koslowe KC*, Rozentzvaig L, Yinon U and Rosner M
  
  Background: The current concept of eye growth and emmetropization is thought to be dependent on visual stimulation of the mid-peripheral retinal cells. The aim of the current study was to examine whether damage to this part of the retinal tissue can affect the growth and function of the eye during development. Methods: We had two groups of domestic fowl chicks. One group was normal (N) and the other had a laser burn on 10% of the nasal retinal area of one eye. The optical components of the eye were examined by retinoscopy while physical measurements were made using ultrasonography and micrometry. The function of the retina was examined by standard flash ERG test. There were no differences in the refractive and the ultrasonographic results between the two groups. Results: The experimental group.. View More»
