The eye screen characterises all incoming mice with respect to their vision, understanding the eye as an own complex sense organ.

• Slit Lamp Biomicroscopy – examination of the anterior part of the eye (mainly cornea and lens)
• Funduscopy – investigation of the posterior part of the eye (retina and optic nerve head)
• Laser Interference Biometry (LIB) – determination of eye size parameters (e.g. axial length)

• Electroretinography (ERG) – testing of the retinal function
• Optokinetic Drum - vision test
• Histology – morphological analysis of eye sections
