Scleral Remodeling in Early Recovery from Induced Experimental Myopia

Recovery from induced experimental myopia results in fibrous scleral remodeling. Significant increase in the scleral thickness is related to heightened cell proliferation and elastic fiber contents. These results indicate that the fibrous sclera is not a passive component in the emmetropization process, but rather plays a significant and active role in the adaptation changes of the eye during early recovery from induced myopia.
