Test systems for measuring ocular parameters and visual function in mice.
New techniques are described to measure refractive state, pupil responses, corneal curvature, ocular dimensions and spatial vision in mice. These variables are important for studies on myopia development in mice, but they are also valuable for phenotyping mouse mutants and for pharmacological studies.
