摘要: Abstract Complete ophthalmic examination of a mob western gray kangaroos (Macropus fuliginosus) was performed under chemical restraint. Examination included intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement by rebound and applanation tonometry, fluorescein staining, corneal diameter measurement, slit-lamp biomicroscopy indirect funduscopy. The diameters had mean 19.52 mm, SD 2.16 mm, 95% confidence interval (CI) 18.71–20.32 mm. Ocular abnormalities were noted in 4/8 (50%) examined kangaroos. Intraocular as estimated tonometry 9.00 mm Hg with 25–75% quartile range 6.5–10.75 mm Hg minimum–maximum 5.00–23.00 mm Hg. 11.50 mm Hg 10.00–17.00 mm Hg 9.00–20.00 mm Hg. This is the first report ocular findings captive provides ranges values for diameter.
