Refractive and biometric interocular differences between goggled (form-deprived right eye: OD) and non-goggled (open left eye: OS) eyes, after injecting phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) 3 times, at 48-hr intervals. Monocular form-deprivation of chicks in this study caused the expected responses: a large negative shift in refractive error (a), and modest but highly significant increases in total axial length (b), circular-equivalent equatorial diameter (c), and wet weight (d), in the goggled eyes. Data are represented as absolute mean ± standard deviation. Statistics: ****p < 0.0001, unpaired Student’s t-test; sample sizes (n) are denoted in brackets below each column.
