Short summary
This review shows that mouse lemurs show various ocular impairments which may distort vision. The most widespread and obvious ocular finding were nuclear sclerosis and cataracts. Both highly increase with increasing age. Iris posterior synechia has been described in different colonies and seems highly age dependent and cataract associated. Combined with the variety of many other eye diseases, special ophthalmological treatments and examinations are required to ensure animal well-being.
