The Scientific Problem of Myopia Sample Clauses

The Scientific Problem of Myopia. By studying individuals affected by myopia and the environmental factors that contribute, we ultimately become aware of the scientific problem: the exact mechanisms of how visual experience regulates eye growth are unknown. The environmental factors consistently associated with myopia are visual cues including light intensity, color, and focal distance (near work). While the effect of each of these on retinal processing is somewhat understood, how these effects are impacting the growth of the eye is unknown. Additionally, the differential impacts of specific environmental cues and their interactions with each other and with genetic predispositions is also unclear. In the field of myopia research today, animal models are used to mimic and isolate the effects of myopiagenic factors. By inducing experimental myopia in animals, the environmental, pharmacological, and genetic aspects of eye growth and emmetropization can be elucidated.
