    Diurnal primates, particularly rhesus monkeys, exhibit maculopathy-related changes like drusen-like bodies and lesions associated with myopia. These findings offer insights into conditions observed in clinical practice.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Primate Ophthalmology
    • Comparative Pathology

    Background:

    • Maculopathy presents with diverse clinical manifestations.
    • Subhuman diurnal primates can exhibit ocular changes relevant to human conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the presence and characteristics of maculopathy-related lesions in a cohort of diurnal subhuman primates.
    • To correlate observed primate ocular findings with those seen in human clinical practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Ophthalmoscopic examination of 574 diurnal subhuman primates, predominantly older rhesus monkeys.
    • Documentation and analysis of observed lesions in the macula and other fundus regions.

    Main Results:

    • 5.9% of subjects presented with drusen-like bodies in the macula and fundus.

  • Choroidal rupture-like crescent-shaped lesions were identified.
  • Macular and perimacular lesions associated with myopia, some complicated by choroidal neovascularization, were observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Diurnal primates, specifically rhesus monkeys, display ocular pathologies mirroring aspects of human maculopathy.
    • These findings contribute to understanding the comparative pathology of retinal diseases.
