Studies dealing with the development of myopia in primates are considered as they contribute to our understanding of myopia. Myopia appears to develop in two stages. The first is a lenticular change in eyes which have been focused at nearpoint for long periods; the lens remains continuously accommodated. Since accommodation in monkeys results in an increase in vitreous chamber pressure, a comparable increase in children could induce the second stage - an increase in the size of the vitreous chamber and a corresponding increase in axial length or true myopia. Behavior and personality appear to be related to myopia.
