Abstract:Purpose
To define the normal range of central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) in rhesus macaques
(Macaca mulatta
) and the effects of age, body weight, sex, and intraocular pressure (IOP) on these parameters.
Methods
Ophthalmic examinations were performed on 144 rhesus macaques without anterior segment pathology. The CCT was measured via ultrasound pachymetry (USP) and specular microscopy, and the ECD was sem… Show more
