FIGURE 1.
Vertebrate Ocular Development. Schematic representation of ocular development stages from eye field specification to bi-layered optic cup formation (A–E). This process occurs between 12 and 24 hpf in zebrafish, E8-10 in mouse, and from ∼4 to 7 weeks in human. See text for process details. EF, eye field; N, notochord; OV; optic vesicle; LP, lens placode/pit; POM, periocular mesenchyme; RPE, retinal pigment epithelium; NR, neural retina; L, lens. Figure created with Biorender.com.
