Abstract
PURPOSE. The rate of proteoglycan synthesis was measured in the scleras of adolescent marmosets that had undergone monocular form deprivation to characterize the scleral extracellular matrix changes associated with the development of myopia in a mature primate. METHODS. Form deprivation myopia was induced in adolescent marmosets by unilateral lid suture for an average of 108 days. After the lids were reopened, the axial lengths and refractions...
