Growth hormone (GH) is rarely considered to be involved in ocular development or vision or to be present in the visual system. Basic and clinical studies nevertheless support roles for GH in the ocular function of most vertebrate groups and for its extrapituitary production in ocular tissues. The comparative endocrinology of endocrine, autocrine or paracrine GH in the visual system of vertebrates is the focus of this brief review.
