چکیده

The minimum significant (p = 0.05 level) detectable change noted on measuring anterior chamber depth by a photographic method was found to be 7% either way from the mean. The minimum significant change for a peripheral chamber depth 5 mm from the optic axis was found to be 25% either way.

Twenty-four-hour change in axial length in the rabbit eye.

PURPOSE To study the 24-hour changes in axial length, lens thickness, and anterior chamber depth in rabbits and to examine the role of ocular sympathetic activity on these changes. METHODS Young adult rabbits were entrained to a daily 12-hour light-12-hour dark cycle. Axial length, lens thickness, and anterior chamber depth were measured using ultrasonic techniques. In the first group of 12 r...
