    Environmental stimuli significantly impact vision development and neural pathways in both animals and humans. Early intervention is crucial for treating vision deficits, as highlighted by this review of 60 studies.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Developmental Biology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Visual system development is influenced by environmental factors.
    • Neural pathway formation is critical for sight.
    • Understanding these influences aids in treating visual impairments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review research on environmental stimuli and vision development.
    • To synthesize findings on neural pathway development.
    • To emphasize early treatment strategies for vision deficits.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive literature review of 60 studies.
    • Analysis of animal and human research.
    • Tabular summarization of key findings.

    Main Results:

    • Environmental stimuli play a key role in visual development.
    • Absence of stimuli can lead to developmental deficits.
    • Studies highlight the plasticity of visual pathways.

    Conclusions:

    • Environmental input is essential for normal visual system development.
    • Timely treatment of vision deficits can improve outcomes.
    • Further research should explore therapeutic interventions.
