Ocular development has been investigated in some detail in rodents, the dog, and the cow, and demonstrates that the sequence of developmental events is very similar across species. When comparing these studies, one should consider differences in duration of gestation, differences in anatomical end point (e.g., presence of a tapetum, macula, or Schlemm's canal), and when eyelid fusion breaks (during the sixth month of gestation in the human versus two weeks postnatal in the dog and cow) (Tables 1.1 and 1.2).
