Effect of aspirin and vitamin E on phase separation in calf lens homogenate.

abstract：:The effects of optical defocusing with convex lenses on the amplitudes of pattern reversal visual-evoked response (PVER) were investigated. With the large check size and high-contrast pattern, PVER amplitudes showed a linear decrease in response to initial defocusing up to +5 to +6 dptr. As the degree of defocus incre...
