Temporal constraints on lens compensation in chicks
Abstract
If the effective focal length of a growing eye is modified by spectacle lenses, the eye compensates by altering its growth, thereby keeping images in focus, a process we presume is similar to normal emmetropization. Using chicks, we have investigated how much visual exposure the eye needs to exhibit the two principal components of ocular compensation: altered rate of elongation (a scleral mechanism) and altered choroidal thickness. We have found...
