Axial-length and refraction measurements are presented for the lid-sutured rhesus monkey at 6-month intervals during the first 1.5 years of life. The experimental data are fitted to an exponential growth theory allowing the calculation of time constants, apparent time origins, and correlation coefficients for 10 eyes from five animals. On average, axial length develops with a time constant of 0.40 year for lid-suture myopia, compared with 0.42 year for the normal eye. A practical application of this work is that one must allow 1.6 years of lid suture to achieve 95% of the total refractive or axial-length change.
在出生后的前1.5年中，每隔6个月对眼睑缝合的恒河猴进行眼轴长度和屈光度测量。将实验数据拟合到指数生长理论，从而计算出五只动物的10只眼睛的时间常数、表观时间起点和相关系数。平均而言，眼睑缝合性近视的眼轴长度发育的时间常数为0.40年，而正常眼睛为0.42年。这项研究的一个实际应用是，必须进行1.6年的眼睑缝合才能实现总屈光或眼轴长度变化的95%。
