Abstract

Methods for inhibiting myopia are disclosed. A method for inhibiting myopia includes reducing a level of an intraocular cAMP in a subject. The level of the intraocular cAMP is reduced by injecting an adenylyl cyclase inhibitor to achieve the inhibition of myopia in the subject. In one method, the adenylyl cyclase inhibitor is SQ22536.
