Abstract
The rhesus monkey is a primate and has been widely used in the medical research field because its morphological anatomy and physiological functions are similar to humans. An extensive literature search was done in order to further understand the morphological, structural and anatomical differences between human and rhesus monkey eyes. Based on the extensive literature search, this paper expounds on the similarities and differences between rhesus monkey and human eyes from the perspectives of the cornea, lens, retina, sclera, refractive parameters and intraocular pressure. The aim of this study is to provide a reference for research on the rhesus monkey as an experimental animal model for human visual system diseases. Key words: rhesus; the structure of eyeball; cornea; retina; refraction index
