Choroidal and scleral mechanisms of compensation for spectacle lenses in chicks
TL;DR: Both form-deprivation myopia and lens-induced myopia declined with age in parallel, but wearing a -15 D lens produced more myopia than did form deprivation, suggesting that compensation for hyperopia requires the central nervous system.

Moving the Retina: Choroidal Modulation of Refractive State

TL;DR: Choroidal expansion does not occur when visual cues are reduced by dim illumination during the period of unrestricted vision, and in chick eyes presented with myopic or hyperopic defocus by means of spectacle lenses, the choroid expands or thins, respectively, in compensation for the specific defocus imposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active emmetropization — evidence for its existence and ramifications for clinical practice
TL;DR: There is increasing evidence from animal studies in support of the concept of an active emmetropization mechanism which has potentially important clinical ramifications for the management of refractive errors, with emphasis given to work involving the chick, tree shrew and monkey, which represent the three most widely used animal models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual influences on diurnal rhythms in ocular length and choroidal thickness in chick eyes.
TL;DR: It is proposed that the phase relationship between these choroidal and eye length rhythms influence the rate of growth of the eye, and it is concluded that diurnal ocular rhythms may be important in eye growth regulation.
Journal Article
Choroidal thickness changes during altered eye growth and refractive state in a primate.
TL;DR: In marmosets, the thickness of the choroid increases during postnatal eye growth, and superimposed on this developmental increase in choroidal thickness there are changes in thickness that are correlated with the induced changes in eye size.
