2019, Advances in Ophthalmology and OptometryCitation Excerpt :It has been postulated that the optical blur produced by the lag of accommodation may be a signal that drives excessive eye growth and causes myopia [29,48,50–53]. This theory is supported by animal studies that have reported that blur using diffusers or negative lenses results in excessive eye growth and myopia in species as diverse as fish, chickens, tree shrews, monkeys, guinea pigs, and mice [54–69]. Wiesel and Raviola [63,70] induced myopia by placing a translucent screen over a monkey’s eye; however, when total occlusion was used instead, there was no alteration in the length of the eye.
Conserved characteristics of ocular refractive development – Did the eye evolve once?
2019, Experimental Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :For example, in 2011 Chen et al. demonstrated that it is possible to selectively breed chickens (chicks) for their susceptibility to the inducement of myopia, indicating a gene-environment interaction. A variety of mammals have been used to study eye refractive development, including (among others); monkeys, tree shrews, guinea pigs, squirrels, and mice (Wiesel and Raviola, 1977; Sherman et al., 1977; Howlett and McFadden, 2006; McBrien et al., 1993; Tejedor and de la Villa, 2003). However, chickens are precocial birds that can undergo experimentation after hatching.
