Axial length of FDEP and control eyes in animals reared under BEW (n = 18) or SW (n = 18) lights. After 14 days of form-deprivation, AL was increased in FDEP eyes compared to control eyes in the SW (a) and BEW (b) groups (P < 0.001). Two weeks following form-deprivation (D28), the AL of FDEP eyes was no longer different from control eyes in chicks reared under BEW light but not in animals reared under SW light (a,b). FDEP eyes of animals raised under BEW light displayed shorter AL compared FDEP eyes of animals raised under SW light (P < 0.001) (c). BEW attenuated axial elongation due to form-deprivation observed on D14 (P = 0.002) (c). Control eyes reared under BEW light displayed shorter AL than eyes reared under SW light on D14 and D22 (P = 0.002 and P < 0.001, respectively) (d). Data are represented as average ± SD. Post hoc pairwise comparison significance: ^#P < 0.1; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
