Ophthalmic surgeries
In entropion, eyelids roll inward directly irritating the eye; surgical correction is always warranted. Often causes the hair on the surface of the eyelid to rub against the cornea resulting in pain, corneal ulcers, perforations, or pigment developing on the cornea which can interfere with vision. The treatment for entropion is surgical correction.
In ectropion the lower eyelid ‘rolls’ outward or is everted. This causes the lower eyelids to appear droopy. Entropion is very painful and often causes conjunctivitis, eye infections and eye ulcers. Entropion often affects both eyes. Left untreated, entropion can cause severe pain, scarring and even loss of an eye. Surgical correction is always warranted.
Cherry eye is a prolapsed gland of the third eyelid which appears as a red swollen mass on the lower eyelid. Many mammals, have an “extra” or third eyelid located inside the lower eyelid which serves as an additional protective layer for the eye. Most dogs develop cherry eye at a young age; surgical correction is warranted.
Corneal ulcers—Corneal ulceration is one of the most common ophthalmic problems seen in our canine and feline patients. An ulcer is erosion on the surface of the eye, painful and sometimes requiring surgical correction – Tarsorrhaphy.
An inflammatory eye conditions involving the cornea and the conjunctiva. It is an ocular condition commonly diagnosed in dogs, and less commonly in other species and results most often from an inadequate quantity of tears or a deficient quality of tears. Tears are needed to provide lubrication and nutrition to the cornea, as well as remove debris and/or infectious agents from the eye. Treatment can be medical or surgical (Tarsorrhaphy), and sometimes both.
