Analysis of Postnatal Eye Development in the Mouse with High-Resolution Small Animal Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Abstract

Development of ocular components in the mouse is similar to that of the tree shrew but different from that of higher primates and humans. Primary differences can be attributed to the age-related changes of the crystalline lens and CRC. In spite of these differences, mice appear to be able to achieve and maintain emmetropic refractive status at P32 to P40.
