Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how visual sensitivities to different sizes of white-on-white stimuli relate to the number of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in a non-human primate model of glaucoma.
- Researchers induced glaucoma in seven primates, monitoring changes with advanced imaging techniques, and correlated RGC counts with visual sensitivity data collected from various retinal locations.
- Findings suggest a connection between visual thresholds and RGC density, offering a model to estimate RGC content based on standard visual tests, with implications for understanding glaucoma effects on vision.

Purpose: To determine the agreement and repeatability of inner retinal thickness measures from widefield imaging compared to standard scans in healthy nonhuman primates.
Methods: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans were acquired from 30 healthy rhesus monkeys, with 11 animals scanned at multiple visits. The scan protocol included 20° × 20° raster scans centered on the macula and optic nerve head (ONH), a 12° diameter circular scan centered on the ONH, and a 55 × 45° widefield raster scan.
