Background Establish baseline values for ophthalmic diagnostic tests in Sapajus libidinosus . Methods Ophthalmic diagnostic tests, namely Schirmer tear test 1 ( STT ‐1), intraocular pressure ( IOP ), B‐mode ultrasound, culture of the bacterial conjunctival microbiota, and conjunctival exfoliative cytology, were performed in 15 S. libidinosus . Results Mean values found were as follows: 2.50 ± 2.94 mm/min for the STT ‐1; 13.3 ± 3.32 mm Hg for the IOP ; 2.47 ± 0.41 mm for the depth of the anterior chamber; 2.86 ± 0.96 mm for the axial length of the lens; 10.97 ± 0.48 mm for the depth of the vitreous chamber; and 16.32 ± 1.24 mm for the axial length of the eyeball. The bacterial genus most frequently found was Staphylococcus spp. Conjunctival cytology showed intermediate epithelial, squamous superficial epithelial, and keratinized cells. Conclusions Determination of baseline values for eye measurements and ophthalmic tests will assist in the diagnosis of eye diseases in S. libidinosus monkeys.
