Constant light rearing disrupts compensation to imposed- but not induced-hyperopia and facilitates compensation to imposed myopia in chicks
PURPOSE While rearing chicks in constant light (CL) inhibits anterior segment growth, these conditions also induce excessive enlargement of the vitreous chamber. The mechanisms underlying these effects are poorly understood although it has been speculated that the enlarged vitreous chambers are a product of emmetropization, a compensatory response to the altered anterior segments. We examined t...
متن کاملLocal ocular compensation for imposed local refractive error.
Chicks were raised in a low-ceiling environment to find out if their eye growth could compensate for locally imposed hyperopic refractive errors. These chicks became selectively more myopic in the upper visual field than chicks raised in a high-ceiling environment. The vitreous chamber in the low-ceiling birds showed a selective elongation in the ventral region that was not seen in the eyes of ...
متن کاملPatching fellow eyes during subjective night does not prevent disruption to minus lens compensation in constant light-reared chicks
PURPOSE This study re-examined an earlier claim that monocular patching during subjective night (i.e. patched at the usual time that night would occur) in the chicks reared in continuous lighting (CL), offered unpatched eyes some protection from the ocular effects of CL. It also examined whether this monocular patching protected unpatched eyes against the disruptive effect of CL on compensation...
متن کاملDevelopmental compensation of imposed astigmatism is not initiated by astigmatic accommodation in chickens
PURPOSE It is not clear whether emmetropization is confined to spherical refractive errors, or whether astiqmatic errors are also corrected via visual feedback. Experimental results from the animal model of the chicken are equivocal since compensation of imposed astimatic defocus was found in some but not all studies. Astigmatism could only be compensated by changes in the geometry of the corne...
متن کاملRefractive change in hyperglycaemia: hyperopia, not myopia.
Sudden changes in refraction are well recognised feature of hyperglycaemia. A tendency towards myopia has always been associated with elevations in blood glucose. Twelve diabetic patients were found to have experienced such refractive changes. Review of their records demonstrates that hyperglycaemia produces hyperopia. A theoretical mechanism for this phenomenon is discussed.
