Abstract

Despite the high prevalence of myopia in the worldwide population, underlying mechanisms are unclear. Interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) is major protein of the subretinal space. It plays a crucial role in the visual cycle. Our laboratory previously reported eye size defects at postnatal day 8 (P8), profound myopia and retinal degeneration at P30 in the IRBP knockout (KO) mice, indicating a role for IRBP in eye development. The purpose of this study was to determine which ocular parameters affecting optical power are altered in IRBP KO mice.
