The Effect of Ambient Illuminance on the Development of Deprivation Myopia in Chicks
Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science · 2009 · Vol. 50(11) · pp. 5348–5348
Abstract
Exposing chicks to high illuminances, either sunlight or intense laboratory lights, retards the development of experimental myopia. These results, in conjunction with recent epidemiologic findings, suggest that daily exposure to high light levels may have a protective effect against the development of school-age myopia in children.
