Myopes have significantly higher serum melatonin concentrations than non-myopes.
PURPOSE Experimental animal models of myopia demonstrate that higher melatonin (Mel) and lower dopamine (DA) concentrations actively promote axial elongation. This study explored the association between myopia and serum concentrations of DA and Mel in humans. METHODS Morning serum concentrations of DA and Mel were measured by solid phase extraction-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectromet...
متن کاملDo women and myopes have larger pupils?
It is commonly reported that the pupils of women are larger than those of men and the pupils of myopes larger than those of emmetropes. However, these reports are not supported by experimental procedures using objective measurements, controlled conditions, and adequate numbers of subjects. In this report the open-loop pupil size was measured objectively using dynamic infrared pupillometry in a ...
متن کاملEffect of positive and negative defocus on contrast sensitivity in myopes and non-myopes
This study investigated the effect of lens induced defocus on the contrast sensitivity function in myopes and non-myopes. Contrast sensitivity for up to 20 spatial frequencies ranging from 1 to 20 c/deg was measured with vertical sine wave gratings under cycloplegia at different levels of positive and negative defocus in myopes and non-myopes. In non-myopes the reduction in contrast sensitivity...
متن کاملPhotoastigmatic Refractive Keratectomy in Myopes
Journal of Refractive Surgery Volume 16 March/April 2000 ABSTRACT PURPOSE: Photoastigmatic refractive keratectomy (PARK) was studied in a multi-center clinical trial. The Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser was evaluated for its effect on refraction, visual acuity, and safety measures as part of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulated study. METHODS: Eight U.S. centers enrolled adults with ...
متن کاملIntraocular Pressure Changes during Accommodation in Progressing Myopes, Stable Myopes and Emmetropes
PURPOSE To investigate the changes of intraocular pressure (IOP) induced by 3-diopter (3 D) accommodation in progressing myopes, stable myopes and emmetropes. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS 318 subjects including 270 myopes and 48 emmetropes. METHODS 195 progressing myopes, 75 stable myopes and 48 emmetropes participated in this study. All subjects had their IOP measured using...
