sequelae:retinal degeneration and detachmentintraocular hemorrhage Collie eye anomaly
initially, the iris forms as a solid sheet of mesodermal tissue pupillary membrane
pupillary membrane later on, some of this tissue dissipates >> forming the pupil
delayed or incomplete atrophy of the anterior perilenticular vascular network Persistent pupillary membrane
in dogs, persistent remnants are common up to 6 months of age Persistent pupillary membrane
atrophy is frequently incomplete at birth Persistent pupillary membrane
inherited in:Basenji Chow Chow Pembroke Welsh Corgi Persistent pupillary membrane
short, threadlike protrusions from the area of the minor arterial circle iris collarette
Persistent pupillary membraneclinical significance obstructed visioncorneal or lens opacity
due to dysplasia of corneal endothelium or lens because of contact with the strands corneal or lens opacity
Developmental anomaliesBlepharitisNeoplasms Diseases of the eyelids
partial defect (coloboma) involving the upper eyelid is the most common
abnormal or prolonged fusion or adhesion of the eyelids Ankyloblepharon
Premature eyelid separation Ankyloblepharon
essential to protect the immature cornea from infectious keratitis, dessication, and corneal rupture Physiologic ankyloblepharon in carnivores
persists into the 2nd week of life Congenital ankyloblepharon in dogs and cats
should have their eyes open at birth ruminants and horses
inward rolling of the eyelid margin (inversion or infolding) because of inadequate overall length Entropion
irritation of the cornea by the eyelid skin, cilia, and/or hair Entropion sequel
very common anomaly in purebred dogs Entropion
created by undue laxity of an excessively long eyelid resulting in an outward gaping of the eyelid margin Ectropion
chronic conjunctivitis and keratitis from exposure to debris Ectropion sequel
presence of an ectopic row of cilia originating from the ducts of the Meibomian glandsusually bilateral Distichiasis
corneal irritation Distichiasis sequel
misdirection of the normal cilia Trichiasis
corneal irritation leading to keratitis and even ulceration Trichiasis sequel
abnormally placed cilia within the lamina propria of the conjunctiva Ectopic cilia
their emergence through the palpebral conjunctiva can cause severe corneal irritation Ectopic cilia sequel
FocalDiffuse Blepharitis
