Neuroprotective Effects of FGF2 and Minocycline in Two Animal Models of Inherited Retinal Degeneration.

abstract：PURPOSE:Recently, it has been found that form deprivation myopia can be induced in fish (tilapia). This study examined the sensitivity of the tilapia eye to positive and negative lenses. It further investigated the sensitivity of the fish eye to form deprivation by examining the effect of fish weight. METHODS:Twenty-f...
