Abstract
Dopamine has been implicated as a stop signal for refractive eye growth based on pharmacological studies in chickens, mammals, and primates. More recently, dopamine receptor knock-out mice have been used to elucidate dopaminergic mechanisms of refractive development (Huang et al. IOVS 2014). In this study, a Cre-mediated, retinal-specific tyrosine hydroxylase knockout (KO) mouse was studied to determine the effect of eliminating retinal dopamine on refractive development and susceptibility to form deprivation (FD) myopia.
