Fig. 11. Lens dimensions in wild-type and ${alpha}$ A^–/– lenses. Mid-sagittal sections (4 µm) of wild-type and ${alpha}$ A-knockout lenses were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The lens sections were examined by confocal microscopy. The equatorial diameter of the lens was determined at different postnatal ages. The equatorial diameter of the ${alpha}$ A^–/– lenses was $~$ 30% smaller at birth and lagged in growth compared with the wild-type throughout the early postnatal period.
