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.
Chorioretinal lesions hiave been prodluced in monkeys during experitments with ruby and neodlymium lasers. Most of the energy from the ruby laser (wavelength 6943 angstroms) is absorbed by the pigment epithelium, where the greatest damage appears. With the neodymium laser (10,600 angstroms) the neural portions of the retina absorb more of damage than the pigment epithelium and adjacent tissues.
