Although its basis remains uncertain, recent development of animal models have permitted tests of hypothesis as to myopia's origins. The symposium proceedings cover normal growth of the eye including the roles of peptide factors, metabolism and accommodation, investigation of the deficiencies that lead to myopia and other refractive disorders.Ciba Foundation symposium ;155.MyopiaCongressesEyeGrowthRegulationCongressesMyopiaEyeGrowthRegulation612.7/55Bock Gregory322650Widdows Kate1839963Symposium on Myopia and the Control of Eye Growth(1990 :Ciba Foundation)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911019694403321Myopia and the control of eye growth4422427UNINA
