Ophthalmoscopic Observations of Ocular Fundus in African Green Monkeys Aged from 0 day to 15 Years and Retinal Hemorrhage in Neonates

Abstract

The optic fundi of 365 apparently healthy African green monkeys ranging in age from 0 day to 15 years were examined by an ophthalmoscope. Subtle differences in their findings by different ages were recorded. Colour of the ocular fundus showed significant changes with increasing ages. Retinal hemorrhage was found in neonates of natural delivery but not in those of caesarean section.
