    High myopia developed in chickens after lid suture, with operated eyes showing significant axial elongation compared to normal eyes. This finding suggests chick eyes can model myopia research.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Comparative Biology
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a significant global health concern.
    • Animal models are crucial for understanding the mechanisms of refractive error development.
    • Chickens possess unique ocular structures that may offer insights into myopia progression.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of lid suture on refractive development in young chickens.
    • To determine if chick eyes can serve as a viable model for myopia research.

    Main Methods:

    • Lid suture was performed on one eye of newly hatched chickens.
    • Refractive error and axial length were measured in operated eyes, fellow non-operated eyes, and normal control chickens.
    • Ocular dimensions were compared between groups.

    Main Results:

    • Operated eyes exhibited severe myopia (average -21.87 Diopters) due to significant axial elongation (18.0 mm).
    • Non-operated eyes and normal control eyes showed normal refractive states (+0.93 and +0.81 Diopters, respectively) with typical axial lengths (13.7 mm and 14.7 mm).
    • Axial elongation involved both anterior and posterior segments of the operated eyes.

    Conclusions:

    • Lid suture in chickens induces a high degree of myopia characterized by axial elongation.
    • Chick eyes demonstrate potential as a model for studying myopia development and its underlying mechanisms.
