Here are photographs of an adult cat patient seen at CullenWebb. This cat has inflammation of the eye (uveitis). This patient presented with a relatively sudden onset change in colour of the right iris. The uveitis present in this patient is characterized by a change in colour of the iris, change in shape and size of the pupil, keratic precipitates, thickening of the iris, increased vascularity of the iris, and obvious lymphoid follicles of the iris. Recommendations for systemic work-up looking for evidence of systemic disease were recommended as various infections or cancers can cause uveitis in cats. Symptomatic topical ocular therapy was commenced while awaiting results of this patient’s diagnostic work-up. CullenWebb recommends that all patients with changes to the appearance of the iris, regardless of species, be examined by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist.

Here are photographs of an older dog patient seen at CullenWebb. This patient has a large mass within the left eye We were able to confirm a diagnosis of a tumour involving the eye, make recommendations for consideration of further diagnostic tests and treatment recommendations. CullenWebb recommends all patients with discolouration, or suspected intraocular tumours, of the eye(s) be examined by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist. Such an examination will aid in a diagnosis, further diagnostic planning, and treatment options specific to that patient.

Here is a young Great Dane patient seen at CullenWebb. This patient had a prolapsed gland of the third eyelid involving the right eye. From a distance it appeared that this was the only problem. Upon closer inspection, however, it was obvious that the cartilage of the third eyelid was malformed and “rolled” in appearance. "Cherry eye" is the term used to describe a prolapsed gland of the third eyelid. This condition, most commonly, is likely heritable in nature and is more commonly seen in breeds with droopy eyelids (eg spaniel breeds, Bulldogs, Great Danes, Mastiffs). In some instances cherry eye can result from a traumatic event. Regardless of the cause, without corrective surgery, patients with cherry eye will suffer from longstanding ocular irritation and possible impaired tear production leading to corneal disease including corneal ulceration. Although family veterinarians may perform cherry-eye repair, CullenWebb recommends that patients with atypical cherry-eye (as seen in the present patient) or recurring cherry-eye, despite previous surgical intervention, be seen by a veterinary ophthalmologist.

Here is the eye of an elderly dog with histologically and immunohistolologically confirmed primary histiocytic sarcoma of the cornea. 1st image time of presentation, 2nd and 3rd images 2 weeks later pre- and immediately postoperatively. Recurrence occurred 6 weeks postoperatively, topical chemo/immunotherapy has been instituted. It is hoped this medical management will aid in regression of this rare tumour. CullenWebb recommends that all patients with corneal masses be referred to a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist. These masses can be mistaken for benign granulation tissue, secondary to a healing corneal ulcer, to the untrained eye. Such a referral permits expert and comprehensive ocular examination, discussion of findings, further diagnostic planning and tailor-made treatment for the patient.

Here is a Chihuahua patient with pharmacologically confirmed partial Horner syndrome of the right eye (ie miosis mild ptosis). This patient presented with a history of having a small than normal right eye. This was an illusion given the ptosis. Horner syndrome results from anywhere along the sympathetic nervous system pathway to the eye. Complete Horner syndrome, in the dog, is characterized by ptosis, enophthalmos, miosis, and protrusion of the third eyelid. Pharmacological testing confirms the diagnosis. CullenWebb recommends that all patients with unexplained changes in pupil size or changes in the appearance to the eye be referred to a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist. Such an examination will permit an expert evaluation of the condition that will aid in arriving at an accurate diagnosis, and permit a comprehensive discussion regarding further diagnostic workup and prognoses, as was done for this patient.

Here is the eye of a mature dog with a suspected corneal tumour (suspect corneal squamous cell carcinoma). After examination, recommendations for further diagnostic workup were made prior to this patient undergoing surgical excision of the mass at CullenWebb, with histopathology to follow - results will be posted at a later date. CullenWebb recommends that all patients with raised corneal masses be referred to a veterinary ophthalmologist. Such an examination will facilitate an expert examination, a comprehensive discussion of further diagnostic testing and tailor-made treatment planning, and potential diagnoses and prognoses.

Here is the left eye of a young adult cat that was referred with concern about a black mass that was noticed in the eye during a dental cleaning. This patient has pigment deposition on the anterior lens capsule (from the posterior iris epithelium) associated with a pinpoint scar within the cornea and inline with an area of focal fibrosis and pigment on the lens capsule and pinpoint anterior cortical and nuclear cataract. These findings point toward a previous penetrating eye injury. The owners were unaware of an injury ever occurring. Nonetheless, the eye appeared comfortable and had no evidence of uveitis. This is an example of the importance of referral of patients with ocular abnormalities that cannot be explained. Re-examination of the patient is scheduled to ensure that the eye remains comfortable and that the cataract is not progressing. #cullenwebb #animaleyedoctor #penetratinginjury #eyeinjury #catsofinstagram #specialist #veterinaryophthalmology https://www.instagram.com/p/BybZmSelRdK/?igshid=7tpn9i6isjv9
