[Effects of early monocular deprivation because of leukoma or cataract on the development of the retina].

The development of a normal retina and a retina with an early one-side occlusion in consequence of a cataract or a wall-eye was studied. Autoradiographically and with the help of a scanning cytophotometry method a normal maturing of a retina was shown to be finished in fourteen days of postnatal development without any significant changes. The degenerative changes of ganglion-cells ensuing the maturity of retina were discovered during the experiment.
