A complete ophthalmic examination including Schirmer tear test II (STT II), phenol red threat test (PRTT), intraocular pressure (IOP) via rebound tonometry, fluorescein, and rose bengal stain was performed under anesthesia. Conjunctival aerobic culture swabs and cytology were collected prior to ophthalmic evaluation. A retrospective review of medical records of sugar gliders presented to CSU\u2010AEZ from 2008 to 2018 for ocular disease was performed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Mean values\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0standard deviation for selected diagnostics included the following: STT II: 2.2\u00a0\u00b1\u00a06.7\u00a0mm\/min; PRTT: 0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00\u00a0mm\/15\u00a0s; IOP: 12\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02.6\u00a0mm\u00a0Hg.
