Anterior segment morphology and morphometry in selected reptile species using optical coherence tomography.

Objective: To provide new and original images of the anterior segment (AS) of the eye of selected Ophidian, Chelonian, and Saurian species and to compare the AS architecture among and within these three groups.

Animals Studied: 17 Saurians, 14 Ophidians, and 11 Chelonians with no concurrent systemic or eye disease were included in the study.

Procedure: Age, weight, nose-cloaca distance (NCD), and pupil shape were collected for each animal.
