delayed/incomplete eyelid opening
ankyloblepharon
etiology of ankyloblepharon in dogs
staphylococcus
etiology of ankyloblepharon in cats
chlamydophila, FHV-1
time of normal eyelid opening in dogs/cats
10-15d
_____ dissection should be used to open eyelids w/ ankyloblepharon
blunt
partial palpebral fissure absence; can’t protect eye in that area
coloboma
consequences of eyelid agenesis
inability to blink normally, exposure keratitis, conjunctivitis
normal tissue in an abnormal location
choristoma
choristoma where hair is growing on the cornea
dermoid
normal hair from the eyelid contacting the corneal surface; typically causes no problems
trichiasis
hair starting in the tarsal gland that exits duct of gland and contacts the cornea; +/- irritation
distichiasis
hair starting in tarsal gland and exiting palpebral conjunctiva in the eyelid; causes corneal ulcers
ectopic cilia
distichia tx for single or few hairs
electropilation
distichia tx for many hairs; inhibits healing
cryoepilation
signalment for ectopic cilia
young dogs (1-4y), upper eyelids
sequelae of ectopic cilia
pain, blepharospasm, epiphora, corneal ulceration
ectopic cilia tx
excision (+/- cryoepilation)
trichiasis tx
none (if asymptomatic; clip hair)
brachycephalic ocular syndrome symptoms
macropalpebral fissures, medial trichiasis, medial lower lid entropion, pigmentary keratitis
eyelid abnormality secondary to excessive eyelid length, sometimes called diamond eye
combined entropion and ectropion
excessive eyelid length
euryblepharon
entropion where eyelids touch cornea causing squinting, additional in-rolling, etc.
spastic
entropion where there is fibrosis secondary d/t spastic entropion, trauma or irritation; seen in cats
cicatricial
cicatricial entropion in young cats is secondary to _______
conjunctivitis
