摘要
Measurements on excised rats' eyes have provided a basis for the construction of a schematic eye. Refraction of the rat has revealed a hypermetropia of 9D for the receptor plane. Combining the values of the schematic eye with estimates of pupil size it can be shown that the known visual acuity of the rat can be accounted for and that the eye has a considerable depth of focus. Possible implications of the enlargement of the pupil to increased retinal illumination are discussed. © 1969.
