Abstract

Purpose
ipRGCs regulate a range of non-image forming functions of light
such as modulation of circadian activity and pupillary light reflex.
Their intrinsic response to light influences intra-retinal signaling and
retinal dopaminergic cell activity. This study examined the role of
ipRGCs in refractive development of the eye under normal and formdeprived
(FD) visual conditions, using a mutant mouse in which the
ipRGCs are ablated by diphtheria toxin (Opn4DTA/DTA).
