Selected Ophthalmic Tests and Ocular Dimensions in Relation to Activity Pattern in Three Neotropical Nonhuman Primates: Black-Tufted Marmoset (Callithrix Penicillata), Guianan Squirrel Monkey (Saimiri Sciureus), and Azara's Night Monkey (Aotus Azarae Infulatus)
Abstract:The goals of this study were to compare ocular morphology, determine the reference intervals of selected ophthalmic tests, ocular measurements, intraocular pressure, and tear production, and to establish possible relationships in the visual ecology of three different Neotropical nonhuman primates (NHP). Nineteen black-tufted marmosets (Callithrix penicillate), 24 Guianan squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus), and 24 night monkeys (Aotus azarae infulatus) were included in the study. Schirmer tear test, ocular dim… Show more
