The purpose of this study was to investigate the normal range of ophthalmic parameters and the correlations between systematic and ocular parameters and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness among a healthy non-glaucoma cynomolgus monkey colony.All included monkeys were given detailed ophthalmic examinations, including anterior and posterior segments. Furthermore, univariate and multivariate linear regression models were conducted to estimate the relationship between systemic and ophthalmic parameters and global RNFL thickness.A total of 349 non-glaucoma monkeys (18.69 ± 2.88 years old) were collected. The global RNFL thickness was 94.61 ± 10.13 µm, and sex-specific differences existed in all sectors. The decreasing trend of RNFL is as follows: inferotemporal, superotemporal, inferonasal, superonasal, temporal, and nasal. For lamina cribrosa (LC)-related parameters, cup depth (P < 0.01), LC thickness (P = 0.014), and Bruch's membrane opening (BMO) - minimum rim width 2 (P = 0.002) were greater in the male group. However, LC depth (P = 0.02), anterior laminar insertion depth-1 (P = 0.009), and mean anterior laminar insertion depth (P = 0.029) of female monkeys were greater than those of male monkeys. In multivariate linear regression, only older age was significantly related to reduced global RNFL thickness (P < 0.001).Our findings suggest the differences in RNFL thickness distribution and sex between non-glaucoma cynomolgus monkeys and humans. Therefore, the impact of this difference on outcomes should be fully considered in laboratory animal studies. Our findings are also significant in terms of developing a normative optical coherence tomography (OCT) database in nonhuman primates (NHPs).We found that the differences in RNFL thickness distribution and sex between non-glaucoma cynomolgus monkey colonies and humans should be thoroughly taken into account in laboratory animal studies.
