Eyes & Vision

Eye and vision conditions in pets including cataracts, glaucoma, and progressive retinal atrophy.

Related Conditions

  • Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) (P-X-0813) - Hereditary - Chronic - All Pets - Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) is a genetic eye disorder in pets that leads to the gradual degeneration of the retina, resulting in vision loss over time.
  • Cataracts (P-X-0802) - Hereditary - All Pets - Cataracts are a condition characterized by the clouding of the lens in a pet's eye, leading to impaired vision.
  • Lens Luxation (P-X-0811) - Hereditary - All Pets - Lens luxation is a condition where the lens of the eye becomes displaced from its normal position, often affecting vision.
  • Collie Eye Anomaly (P-D-0804) - Hereditary - Congenital - Dogs Only - Collie Eye Anomaly is a genetic disorder affecting the eyes of Collies and related breeds, characterized by abnormal development of the eye structures.
  • Cherry Eye (P-X-0803) - Congenital - All Pets - Cherry Eye is a condition in which the gland of the third eyelid prolapses, resulting in a visible, red mass in the corner of a pet's eye.
  • Entropion (P-X-0808) - Congenital - All Pets - Entropion is a condition in which a segment of the eyelid rolls inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against the eye surface.
  • Glaucoma (P-X-0810) - Hereditary - All Pets - Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions characterized by increased intraocular pressure, leading to potential damage of the optic nerve and vision loss in pets.
  • Dry Eye (KCS) (P-X-0806) - Chronic - All Pets - Dry Eye (KCS) is a condition in pets characterized by insufficient tear production, leading to dryness and potential damage to the eye surface.
  • Corneal Ulcer (P-X-0804) - All Pets - A corneal ulcer is an open sore on the cornea, the transparent front part of the eye, often caused by injury, infection, or underlying health issues.
  • Ectropion (P-D-0809) - Congenital - Dogs Only - Ectropion is a condition where the eyelid turns outward, exposing the inner lining and potentially affecting the eye's protection and moisture retention.
  • Nuclear Sclerosis (P-X-0812) - Chronic - All Pets - Nuclear sclerosis is a common age-related condition in pets where the lens of the eye becomes cloudy due to the hardening of the lens nucleus.
  • Chronic superficial keratitis (P-D-0803) - Chronic - All Pets - Chronic superficial keratitis is a progressive inflammation of the cornea, often associated with exposure to ultraviolet light and characterized by the development of pigmented lesions.
  • Anterior segment dysgenesis (P-X-0801) - Hereditary - All Pets - Anterior segment dysgenesis is a developmental disorder of the eye characterized by abnormal formation of structures in the anterior segment, including the cornea, iris, and lens.
  • Asteroid hyalosis (P-D-0801) - Chronic - All Pets - Asteroid hyalosis is a condition characterized by the presence of small, white, asteroid-shaped opacities within the vitreous humor of the eye, often associated with aging or certain systemic diseases.
  • Brucella canis (P-D-0802) - Dogs Only - Brucella canis is a bacterial infection that primarily affects dogs, caused by the Brucella canis bacterium, leading to reproductive issues and other systemic complications.
  • Cone degeneration (P-D-0805) - Hereditary - Chronic - Dogs Only - Cone degeneration is a progressive retinal disorder characterized by the deterioration of cone photoreceptor cells, leading to vision impairment in pets.
  • Corneal dystrophies in dogs (P-D-0806) - Dogs Only - Corneal dystrophies in dogs are hereditary disorders characterized by abnormal changes in the cornea, affecting its structure and transparency.
  • Cystic microphthalmia (P-D-0808) - Hereditary - Chronic - Dogs Only - Cystic microphthalmia is a congenital condition in which one or both eyes are abnormally small and may contain cysts, affecting the development of the eye structure.
  • Distichia (P-D-1706) - Hereditary - Congenital - Dogs Only - Distichia is a condition in which an extra row of eyelashes grows from the meibomian glands, potentially causing irritation to the eye.
  • Ectopia lentis (P-X-0807) - All Pets - Ectopia lentis is a condition characterized by the abnormal displacement of the lens of the eye, often due to genetic factors or underlying diseases.
