Effects of computer-generated patterns with different temporal and spatial frequencies on choroidal thickness, retinal dopamine and candidate genes in chickens wearing lenses by Hong Liu, Hong Liu, Frank Schaeffel, Marita Pauline Feldkaemper

“…Stimuli were applied for (1) 3 h with no lens, (2) 3 h and monocular treatment with −7D or +7D lenses, (3) 3 or 7 days.Results(1) The smallest fields caused the largest decrease in ChT. (2) Negative lens treatment induced on average 11.7 μm thinner choroids. ChT thinning was enhanced by 10 Hz-ON medium field size flicker which also reduced choroidal thickening with positive lenses. (3) With prolonged treatment, the choroid recovered from initial thinning in all groups although to varying degrees which were dependent on stimulus parameters. …”
