Photic deprivation
Photic deprivation has been studied in 1 paper since 2018: none in people yet, 1 in animals. The research so far is in animals. The newest paper, Sep 27, 2018: “Photo-regulation of rod precursor cell proliferation”.

What did studies of Photic deprivation find?
3Studies of Photic deprivation measured 3 outcomes; the most studied are rod precursor cell differentiation into rod photoreceptors (1 study), Müller glia and neuronal progenitor cell proliferation (1) and rod precursor cell proliferation (1).

Photic deprivation has no effect on rod precursor cell differentiation into rod photoreceptors in zebrafish.
“differentiated into rod photoreceptors at a comparable percentage and in a similar time frame as those maintained under standard light conditions”

Photic deprivation has no effect on Müller glia and neuronal progenitor cell proliferation in zebrafish.
“the number of proliferating Müller glia and their derived olig2:EGFP-positive neuronal progenitor cells was not significantly changed.”
