Accommodative facility in eyes with and without myopia.

abstract：PURPOSE:Monkeys reared under conditions of alternating monocular occlusion during their first few months of life show large horizontal strabismus, "A" patterns, and dissociated vertical deviation. "A" patterns manifest as an inappropriate horizontal component in the deviated eye during vertical eye movements (cross-axi...
