From: RNA-seq and GSEA identifies suppression of ligand-gated chloride efflux channels as the major gene pathway contributing to form deprivation myopia

Figure 1

Biometric measurements of normal and form deprived (FD) chicken eyes following induction and recovery from form deprivation myopia. Chickens were visually deprived by occlusion of their right eye then given a variable number of hours of normal visual experience (T = 0 h, 6 h, and 24 h). At each timepoint (n = 8), biometric measures were taken including (a) refraction, (b) axial length, (c) vitreous chamber depth (VCD) and (d) anterior chamber (AC) length. Note: VCD is measured from the posterior surface of the lens to the fibre layer of neural retina. AC length is measured from the anterior surface of the lens to the cornea. For AL measurements of specific chicks utilised in the RNA-seq analysis, refer to Supplementary Table 9.
