From: Diurnal Rhythms in Intraocular Pressure, Axial Length, and Choroidal Thickness in a Primate Model of Eye Growth,
the Common Marmoset
Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci.. 2002;43(8):2519-2528.
Figure Legend:
The change in ocular growth rate (•) and axial length (⋄) as a function of age (axial length data from a separate group of
marmosets 26 ). Sigmoidal functions (solid lines) were fit to both growth functions. Arrow: approximate transition from the
juvenile period to early adolescence. 25 During the juvenile period, the ocular growth rate was high, with axial length
increasing rapidly. 26 During early adolescence, the ocular growth rate decreased sharply and then leveled. In our study,
animals at ages to the left of the arrow were grouped as juveniles and those to the right as adolescents. The animal of
age 572 days is a young adult and is grouped with the adolescents.
