Decreased Choroidal Blood Perfusion Induces Myopia in Guinea Pigs

Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 2021
Purpose The development of myopia in guinea pigs can be inhibited by attenuating scleral hypoxia by increasing choroidal blood perfusion (ChBP). In this study, we reduced ChBP through surgical and pharmacological methods to determine the effect on myopia
