Prevalence of astigmatism in infant monkeys
PURPOSE Human infants exhibit a high prevalence of astigmatism. Although macaque monkeys are commonly used as animal models in experiments on early ocular growth and emmetropization, the prevalence of astigmatism in infant monkeys is unexplored. In this study we examine the prevalence and nature of astigmatism in infant monkeys. METHODS Refractive and corneal astigmatism were measured in 132,...
متن کاملNormal ocular development in young rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to characterize normal ocular development in infant monkeys and to establish both qualitative and quantitative relationships between human and monkey refractive development. METHODS The subjects were 214 normal rhesus monkeys. Cross-sectional data were obtained from 204 monkeys at about 3 weeks of age and longitudinal data were obtained from 10 representa...
متن کاملEffects of photorefractive keratectomy-induced defocus on emmetropization of infant rhesus monkeys.
PURPOSE To investigate whether photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) performed in infant primates can modify emmetropization and therefore could be used to study mechanisms of refractive error development. METHODS Six healthy rhesus monkeys ranging in age from 2 to 3 months were randomly divided into two groups (n = 3 each). Anisometropia was induced in each animal by performing PRK on one eye. H...
متن کاملStatic roll and pitch in the monkey: shift and rotation of Listing's plane.
In three rhesus monkeys three-dimensional eye positions were measured with the dual search coil technique. Recordings of spontaneous eye movements were made in the light and in the dark, with the monkeys in different static roll or pitch positions. Eye positions were expressed as rotation vectors. In all static positions eye rotation vectors were confined to a plane, i.e. Listing's plane was co...
متن کاملThe effects of monochromatic illumination on early eye development in rhesus monkeys.
PURPOSE Influence of longitudinal chromatic aberration (LCA) on emmetropization during early eye development has not been studied in primates. We investigated the effects of quasi-monochromatic lighting on refractive development and eye growth in rhesus monkeys. METHODS Infant rhesus monkeys were raised under one of three lighting conditions for 51 weeks: quasi-monochromatic blue light (peak ...
