Inhibition of Defocus-Induced Myopia in ChickensInhibition of Defocus-Induced Myopia
Abstract
PURPOSE: To determine the effect of wearing a lens with a unique peripheral optical design on the development and progression of defocus-induced myopia in newly hatched chickens.
METHODS: Eighty-five newly hatched chickens underwent bilateral retinoscopy and A-scan ultrasound to determine their refractive error and axial length. They were randomly divided into Control and two Test groups, in which each chicken was fitted with a goggle-lens over …
