Abstract

The anterior part of the eye was examined in 3,978 newborn cynomolgus monkeys. Three males (about 0.08%) out of these newborns were found to have white opacities in their both eyes. They were diagnosed as bilateral congenital cataract by observation with a slit-lamp biomicroscope. Breeding studies are needed to determine whether these cases have any genetic background.
