It concludes that while zebrafish are a valuable tool for recapitulating human genetic abnormalities, a complete understanding of all molecular factors in ocular pathophysiology is still lacking.
This narrative review synthesizes literature on the zebrafish (*Danio rerio*) as a model for ocular diseases. The central conclusion is that zebrafish are a useful model for recapitulating hereditary genetic ocular abnormalities, but a complete picture of all molecular factors involved in ocular diseases has not yet been achieved. The review implies future translational research potential.
