摘要：

Glaucoma is a heterogeneous group of ocular disorders with a multi-faceted etiology. Although numerous studies on glaucoma using different animal models have been published, it is unwise to simply generalize the results of one model to all glaucomatous situations because of the differences in the anatomy and morphology of animal eyes in comparison with humans’. In this review, we highlight the differences in the trabecular meshwork (TM) tissue, lamina cribrosa (LC) region, optic nerve head (ONH) and the inner layer of the retina in mice, rats and monkeys. In comparison with humans, non-human primates show TM, retina and ONH that are anatomically almost identical. The rat model shows many similarities in the aqueous outflow pathway compared to humans. The mouse ONH lacks collagenous LC, and this finding is observed across different mouse strains. The tissue structure of the ONH in rodents is similar to that in humans, although the blood supply shows differences. The number of cells in the ganglion layer depends on the rodent strain. Despite some differences from humans, rodents are a good choice for studying different types of glaucoma, and the modeling method should be selected based on the experimental needs and the hypothesis being tested. © 2020, MDPI AG.
