Abstract
Visual acuity in a normal stumptail macaque is 1.4 minutes of arc—similar to man's. Destruction of the fovea by photocoagulation decreased acuity to 9 minutes of arc. These facts suggest that the fovea in the macaque has the same physiological role in visual acuity as in man.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
