Abstract: SIGNIFICANCE This study shows that nonvisual mechanism(s) can guide chick eyes to recover from myopia or hyperopia bidirectionally to regain their age-matched length. Because eye growth control is phylogenetically conserved across many species, it is… read more here.

Abstract: Optical clarity and efficient phototransduction are necessary for optimal vision, however, how the associated processes of osmoregulation and continuous fluid drainage across the whole eye are achieved remains relatively unexplored. Hence, we have employed elemental… read more here.
