Summary
To investigate early changes of retinal function in the experimental myopic eyes in chicken, flash electroretinograms (f-ERGs) were recorded. The amplitudes of occluded eyes were larger than those of fellow eyes at the early stage of occlusion; but as th went on, the amplitudes gradually decreased. This result might reflect each retinal cell alteration caused by the disturbance of the development of the occluded eye during the early developing stage.
