Animals in Ophthalmic Research: Concepts and Methodologies	2013-11-17		.txt	text/plain	24854	1191	46	While the majority of investigations have had as their objective ultimate correlation with normal and abnormal function and structure of the human eye, laboratory studies have provided an abundance of comparative information that emphasizes that while there are numerous and amazing similarities in the peripheral visual system among the vertebrate (and even the invertebrate) animals, significant differences exist that are important to both researcher and clinician in selection of a research model and in extrapolation of data obtained from one species to another, and even among different species subdivisions. The use of laboratory animals in the investigation of infectious ocular disease has included rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, dogs, and subhuman primates. Ames and Hastings (1956) described a technique for rapid removal of the rabbit retina, together with a stump of optic nerve, for use in short-term culture experi ments including in vitro studies of retinal response to light (Ames and Gurian, 1960) .	./cache/cord-022219-y7vsc6r7.txt	./txt/cord-022219-y7vsc6r7.txt
