title: Eye volume in young and adult rabbits.
abstract: Volumetric determinations were made by means of linear measurements and permanent stone models of 98 fresh eyes from 84 Dutch rabbits ranging from 15 to 540 days of age. The relationship of eye volume to age was evaluated. At 15 days of age, the eye volume is about 20% of adult size, at 100 days of age about two thirds of adult size, at 180 days of age about 85% of adult size, which is reached at about 300 days of age.
