Is this glaucoma?
This eye belongs to a English Springer Spaniel which has some visual disturbance but isn’t blind. But it does have a hazy cornea and the owner, having read up on the internet is worried her dog has glaucoma. Is this the case and if not what could the diagnosis be? Continue reading
Lump lids!
This picture might be a bit blurry as the dog wasn’t prepared to stand perfectly still but I hope you can see what is going on here – a nasty puffy lid swelling probably signalling blepharitis. This case is from my friends Jen Harrison and Joanna Morall at Acorn House Veterinary Clinic in Bedford. What is happening and how should they investigate and treat it? Continue reading
A puppy with unequal eyes!
A few posts ago I showed you an owl with equal pupils but this poor little Staffie cross puppy has unequal eyes and a certain degree of visual comrpomise. What is happening here do you think? Continue reading
The need for two views!
I do enjoy receiving images from you for a quick e-diagnosis but many times one does need to see the animal face to face – maybe I should say eye to eye! Here is a cat where a frontal view gives some idea of what is going on but really a full appreciation only comes when other views of the globe can be assessed. What do you think is happening here?

A Bassett with a bothersome eye
This rather depressed looking twelve year old dog is presented with a red irritated eye. What is your likely diagnosis Continue reading
An owl with unequal pupils
This barn owl has unequal pupils – anisocoria if you want a bit of ancient Greek thrown in for good measure! But how are we to know if its the eye with the small miotic pupil which is abnormal or the one with the large mydriatic pupil? Continue reading
Is there an eye at all?!
This poor little cat came in to us via the RSPCA with no home and apparently no eye either! What has happened here and how would you proceed diagnostically and therapeutically? Continue reading
An ophthalmic e-bay purchase!
[tab name=”The Case”] I love buying stuff on e-bay (try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKtlK7sn0JQ !) but today’s find is perhaps my favourite to date – what it is? [/tab] [tab name=”David’s view”] This is an ophthalmoscope by Andrew Stanford Morton at the turn of … Continue reading
A dog with a black blob!
If the last case was a cat with white blobs on its cornea, here is a labrador with a black blob on or in its eye! Again its a case of pattern recognition – so what is the diagnosis and what needs to be done? By the way the owner is worried its a melanoma – can you reassure her or does it need a referral? Continue reading
A cat with white blobs on its eye!
Much of ophthalmology is simple pattern recognition. If you’ve seen a cat with these striking white lesions on its cornea before you’ll immediately know what the diagnosis is, and if you haven’t you’ll know after looking at this one! What is the diagnosis? Continue reading
