This paper describes the anatomy of the pig eyeball for easy use and interpretation by researchers who are considering their choice of animal model in vision sciences research.
Porcine Ophthalmology - Veterinary Clinics: Food Animal Practice
Pig eyes share many similarities with human eyes, having a holangiotic retinal vasculature, no tapetum, cone photoreceptors in the outer retina, and a similar scleral thickness, rendering them valuable in comparative research.

2011年2月2日 · The eye of the domestic pig (Sus scrofa domestica) is an ex vivo animal model often used in vision sciences research (retina studies, glaucoma, cataracts, etc.). However, only a few papers have compiled pig eye anatomical descriptions.
Comparative Ocular Anatomy in Commonly Used Laboratory Animals
2016年7月28日 · Most laboratory species as well as humans have one punctum on each upper and lower eyelid. Minipigs (pigs in general) only have puncta on the upper eyelid and rabbits only on the lower eyelid. In humans, approximately 75–80% of tear volume is drained with each blink.

Pigs/swine/Sus Scrofa can see 310 degrees around their head, and their binocular vision zone is 35-50 degrees. The general anatomy of swine eyes are grossly similar so primates, and humans. They're good cadavers because its easier to come by than humans and a whole lot cheaper.
Immunohistochemical study of pig retinal development
2009年9月21日 · The pig eye is similar to the human eye in terms of anatomy, vasculature, and photoreceptor distribution, and therefore provides an attractive animal model for research into retinal disease.
