Vitreous collagen cross-linking and maturation and interactions with internal limiting membrane (ILM) collagen may have a potential role in modulating postnatal growth of the eyeball
2021, Medical HypothesesCitation Excerpt :Increase in axial length following sensory deprivation, was first noted inadvertantly during Hubel and Wiesel’s experimental study on the neural basis of visual perception [16]. Similar induction of myopia has also been reported in children with sensory deprivation due to vitreous hemorrhage [17]. Increase in axial length in these situations may be explained by abnormal vitreous development due to the occlusive barrier preventing exposure of vitreous collagen to natural electromagnetic radiations.
The relationship between anisometropia and amblyopia
2013, Progress in Retinal and Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :These studies have direct parallels to the studies of monkeys described in the previous section. Amblyopia and anisometropia routinely develop in humans who have experienced serious early monocular image degradation caused by unilateral lid closure (Salleras and JC, 1950; Robb, 1977; Hoyt et al., 1981; Rabin et al., 1981; von Noorden and Lewis, 1987; Inatomi et al., 2004; Oral et al., 2010) even when the lid closure is incomplete (O'Leary and Millodot, 1979; Gusek-Schneider and Martus, 2000), or by unilateral congenital cataracts (Frey et al., 1973; Rabin et al., 1981; von Noorden and Lewis, 1987; Shih et al., 1989), unilateral traumatic cataracts (Rabin et al., 1981; Shih et al., 1989; Vanathi et al., 2002), unilateral vitreous haemorrhage or debris (Rabin et al., 1981; Miller-Meeks et al., 1990; Mohney, 2002), unilateral corneal opacification (Shih et al., 1989), and numerous forms of unilateral retinal disease (Rabin et al., 1981; Nathan et al., 1985; Shih et al., 1989). These studies all demonstrate an often dramatic failure of emmetropization (e.g. spherical equivalent refractive error of −15D or −17D, even −25D) and a high incidence of significant astigmatism (Shih et al., 1989) with a sometimes catastrophic loss of vision (Frey et al., 1973; Vaegan and Taylor, 1979; Birch and Stager, 1988).
