Abstract
Anomalous visual experience during development has been shown to induce myopia in several species of animals [monkeys, tree shrews, cats and chicks]. A retrospective analysis of refractive error among humans subjected to various ocular anomalies that disrupt pattern vision revealed a significant degree of myopia. Emmetropization may be a vision-dependent phenomenon.
