Infant macaque monkeys have been raised under such conditions that all visual experience was obtained while looking through a cylindrical lens. When tested at older ages, these monkeys were found to have meridional differences in acuity and contrast sensitivity. The direction of the differences were predictable on the basis of the defocus produced by the rearing condition. The data support the theory, previously suggested on the basis of clinical and correlational studies, that astigmatism is a major cause factor in the occurrence of meridional amblyopia.
所有视觉体验都是通过柱面透镜获得的。在年龄稍大时进行测试，发现这些猴子在视力和对比敏感度上存在子午线差异。这些差异的方向根据饲养条件产生的散焦情况是可预测的。这些数据支持了之前基于临床和相关性研究提出的理论，即散光 meridional amblyopia 是子午线性弱视发生的主要成因。 （注：meridional amblyopia 可直译为“子午线性弱视” ，这里可能是特定医学术语，建议结合专业知识进一步确认准确表述）
