Q

What is a potential complication of surgical removal of the gland

A

gland produces 1/3 of aqueous tears so removal would predispose the patient to dry eye

  • presence of haired skin i the corneal epithelium

- clinical significance depends on the degree of corneal irritation caused by hair

19
Q

Epithelial/stromal necrosis

A
  • response to more severe external injury (dessication [KCS=dry eye], mechanical injury, chemicals, infection)
  • corneal ulceration secondary to edema
20
Q

Wound healing/repair

  • epithelium
  • stroma
A
  • sliding of cells followed by mitosis

- repaired stroma/collagen typically not transparent (granulation tissue)

21
Q

What is feline corneal sequestrum

A
  • increased superficial stromal necrosis compared to normal corneal epithelial injury
  • accumulation of brown pigment from tear film (porphyrins) into corneal stroma
22
Q

What is the typical morphological feature of feline corneal sequestrum

A
  • central dark brown corneal pigmentation, is pathognomonic
23
Q

What lesion is associated with pink eye

A

corneal ulcer that progresses to suppurative keratomalacia

24
Q

What is the cause of pink eye

A

Moraxella bovis

- is transmitted by flies, direct contact, fomites

25
Q

What is the most common cause of feline karatitis

A

feline herpes virus I

26
Q

Know the lesion, characteristic anatomic location, and proposed cause of canine pannus keratitis

A
  • begins at lateral limbus and spreads toward central cornea, bilateral
  • is superficial stromal keratitis
  • likely immune mediated disease
27
Q

Know the most common cause of mycotic keratitis in horses and be able to explain the associated lesions

A
  • Aspergillus spp. as secondary infection of corneal wound

- can progress to suppurative keratomalacia and corneal perforation due to changes in Desemet’s membrane (?)

28
Q

What are the 4 lesions associated with collie eye anomoly

A
  • choroid hypoplasia and hypopigmentation
  • posterior coloboma
  • retinal detachement
  • microphthalmia
29
Q

Hypopyon

A

pus in anterior chamber

30
Q

Anterior uveitis (iridocyclitis)

A

inflammation of the iris and ciliary body

31
Q

Posterior uveitis

A

inflammation of choroid

32
Q

Chorioretinitis

A

inflammation of the choroid and retina

33
Q

Panuveitis

A

inflammation of all 3 components of the uvea

34
Q

Endophthalmitis

A

inflammation of uvea, retina, and ocular cavities (anterior/posterior chambers, vitreous)

35
Q

Panophthalmia

A

inflammation of the entire globe, including cornea and sclera

36
Q

Phacolytic uveitis

A
  • leakage of lens protein through the lens capsule
  • highly antigenic
  • occurs secondary to cataracts
37
Q

Phacoclastic uveitis

A
  • release of lens protein through ruptured lens capsule –> traumatic rupture of lens capsule
  • rapidly progressing diabetic cataracts
38
Q

What is the most common cause of mycotic uveitis

  • in dogs
  • in cats
A
  • blastomycosis (Blastomyces dermatitidis)

- cryptococcosis (Cryptococcus neoformans)

39
Q

What is the typical lesion of the eye associated with mycotic uveitis

A

40
Q

Know the lesions of uveodermatologic syndrome and the predisposed breeds

A
  • bilateral granulomatous uveitis, depigmentation of facial skin
  • akitas, siberian huskies, samoyeds

43
Q

What are the 3 proposed causes of equine recurrent uveitis (moon blindness)

A
