Abstract

The relationship between individual ciliary muscle cells and the surrounding connective tissue was studied in the eyes of three normal, young (3-4 years) cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis), three aged (34-36 years) rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) and seven young (3-7 years) cynomolgus monkeys topically treated with prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) for 4-8 days.
