Abstract
Over the past few decades, primarily by animal studies, correspondingly reinforced by epidemiological, clinical studies and controlled trials, researchers have identified that visual feedback regulates eye refractive developments, with visual image alterations being the most influential myopiagenic environmental factor. This article reviews studies using nonhuman primates to investigate visual risk factors for myopia development and evaluates and summarizes which visual factors contribute to the occurrence and progression of myopia. The possible underlying myopiagenic mechanisms and related myopia prevention/control strategies are also discussed.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
