Optical control of early visual experience in monkeys.
Experimental control of the early visual experience of primates has employed a variety of surgical manipulations such as suturing the eyelids or cutting the extraocular muscles in order to mimic infantile visual disorders of children. For several years, we have successfully used optical means for these experimental simulations and the methods are described here.
