Axial length in untreated marmoset eyes as a function of age. A locally weighted curve fit with a 50% smoothing factor was used to illustrate the axial length growth curve. The three age groups corresponding to the ages of the experimental marmosets examined in this article are indicated for comparison. The average growth rate clearly diminished from group 1 through 3. The average rate of axial growth for untreated eyes in each group was estimated by linear regression.
