“…It is described as the abnormal enlargement and bulging of the eye anteriorly out of orbit (Gelatt et al, 2012;Maggs et al, 2012). Underlying causes are usually inflammations (Bowers et al, 2009;Morax and Badelon, 2009;Hafidi and Daoudi, 2013), endocrinopathies (Werner, 1969;Morax and Badelon, 2009;Giugni et al, 2013) or neoplastic processes (Chi et al, 2009;Hafidi and Daoudi, 2013;Bouzidi et al, 2015;Vardarli et al, 2016) as well as heredity causes (e.g. brachiocephalic dog breeds) and trauma (Chousterman et al, 2014;Manousaridis et al, 2016).…”

Abstract. Mouse lemurs, the world's smallest primates, inhabit forests in Madagascar. They are nocturnal, arboreal and dependent on vision for their everyday lives. In the last decades, the grey mouse lemur became increasingly important for biomedical research, in particular aging research. Experiments which require the combination of visual fitness and old age consequently depend on a solid knowledge of ocular pathologies. Although ocular diseases in mouse lemurs have been described as being common, they have not received much attention so far. Yet it is important to know when and why ocular diseases in captive mouse lemurs may occur. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of known ocular findings in mouse lemurs. It summarizes the frequency of ocular findings in captive mouse lemur colonies and points to their likely causes and treatment options based on the evidence available from other animals and humans. In addition, it shall be discussed whether age or genetic background may affect their development. This review may be used as a reference for future studies which require an assessment of visual performance in mouse lemurs and help to evaluate observed clinical signs and ocular diseases. Furthermore, the high incidence of specific diseases may provide new perspectives and set the groundwork for a new animal model for ocular research.
