Purpose: The guinea pig is widely used in studies of refractive error development and myopia which often involve experimental optical manipulations. The study described here investigated the optical quality of the guinea pig eye, for which there are limited data, despite its fundamental importance to understanding visually guided eye growth.
Methods: The ocular aberrations of eight adolescent New Zealand pigmented guinea pigs (6-11 weeks old) were measured after cycloplegia using a custom-built Shack-Hartmann aberrometer and fit with a Zernike polynomial function to the 10th order (65 terms).
