Abstract excerpt
Purpose: To investigate how pigmentation heritage affects susceptibility to form deprivation myopia (FDM) through crossbreeding myopia-susceptible albino and myopia-resistant pigmented guinea pigs (GPs). Methods: Ninety GPs (albino: n = 29, pigmented: n = 29, F1 crossbred: n = 32) were studied. Eye parameters were measured using retinoscopy and A-scan ultrasound. Scotopic electroretinograms were recorded by...
