Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Suppresses Retinal Neuronal Apoptosis in Form-Deprivation Myopia in Chicks

Purpose: Chorioretinal atrophy including retinal neuronal apoptosis occurred in chronic form-deprivation myopia induced by lid suture in chicks. We investigated whether exogenous basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) could simultaneously inhibit the excessive axial elongation and retinal neuronal lo...
