Effects of Monocular Atropinization on Refractive Error and Eye Growth in Infant New World Monkeys.

Purpose: To explore the effect of topical atropine on axial eye growth and emmetropization in infant marmosets.

Methods: Atropine was applied to one eye from the age of 7 to 56 days in two dose regimens, High (0.1-1% twice daily, increasing with age) or moderate (Mod) (0.

Rotated prism-wear disrupts emmetropization but does not reliably induce hyperopia in the New World monkey.

To determine whether a disruption of binocular vision that has been previously shown to be amblyogenic disturbs visually guided growth, and in particular to follow-up the observation by Kiorpes and Wallman [Kiorpes, L., & Wallman, J. (1995).
