Summary

This study examines the permanence of the visual recovery promoted by a period of reverse occlusion in kittens that were monocularly deprived from near birth for periods ranging from 3 to 18 weeks and finds that in many animals the acuity of the initially nondeprived eye did not recover to levels it had reached prior to reverse Occlusion.
