Table 2. Ocular measures for normal tree shrews and those undergoing five days of monocular deprivation.


Ocular measures		 Normal group Myopic group
Normal eyes Control eyes Treated eyes Treated–control eyes
Refraction (D) 8.6±0.1 8.4±0.1 0.3±0.5 −8.1±0.6**
Vitreous chamber depth (mm) 2.79±0.01 2.82±0.02 2.98±0.02 0.17±0.01**
Axial length (mm) 7.12±0.02 7.09±0.04 7.29±0.06 0.20±0.02*

Tree shrew ocular measures were taken before the isolation of the tissue samples. Refraction, vitreous chamber depth, and axial length are shown for the normal (visually unmanipulated) animals and the 5 day monocular deprived (myopic) group. Data are shown as mean±SEM, n=6. The asterisk indicates p<0.001, and the double asterisk indicates p<0.0001.
