What does this image show?

What does this image show?
Healthy cat fundus
What does this image show?
Large lens with DIabetic cataract
What does this image show? What further tests would help narrow ddx?
- pigment
- white scar (ddx. lipid or calcium)
- inactive corneal lesion (no obvious blood vessels or discharge, eye held open)
- d/t chronic irritation or 1* inflammatory disease
- eg Ddx: dry eye, trichiasis, entropion, LPI (corneal pannus)
- Dxx: STT, cytolgy of corneal surfce? (only useful if lesion active)
What does this image show? What further diagnostics would help narrow ddx?
- Pigment or a sequestrum, this is a cat so probably a sequestrum as cats have little to no pigment in the limbus or conjunctiva and do not normally pigment their cornea the way dogs do, a scar (white), although white can also be lipid or calcium, and vascularization (red)
- active lesion d/t sequestrum/FB
- fluorescin, STT (variable reliability in cats)
What does this image show?
- There is a blood vessel response (red) and this is leading to an area that is pink, this is granulation tissue formation or possibly a eosinophilic keratitis (EK). In this case it is probably not EK as this normally happens in the dorsolateral cornea and this is central. The whitish color could be a scar and the yellowish hue what is left of fluorescein.
- Active lesion (blood vessels seen)
- Distichiasis
What does this image show? Further diagnostics?
- Vascularization (red), there are blood vessels entering the cornea through the dorsal limbus. They can be seen extending from the conjunctiva and episclera (conjunctival vessels have dichotomous branching and episcleral vessels meander a lot but have no branches) and corneal edema (blue)
- Ddx: Ulcerative disease, intraocular disease (eg glaucoma primary or secondary, and uveitis), primary endothelial degeneration
- Dxx: fluorscin, tonometry, transillumination
What does this image show?
Corneal ulcer with fluorescein, stromal abscess, ring of neovascularization, corneal edema and limbal pigment*. There is thickening of the cornea.
- Corneal infiltrate- abscess (white), fluorescein (bright yellow), vascularization and granulation tissue (red/pink), edema (blue) and pigment (black)
• Corneal abscessation does not really involve the development of a pocket of pus per se, but the heavy cellular infiltration of the corneal stroma. This may be infected with bacteria and, rarely (depending on geographic location –cold vs warm climates, and species –dogs vs horses for instance), fungal organisms.
- active lesion, wet eye and inflamed
What does this image show?
Staphylococcal blepharitis
What does this image show?
conjunctival blood vessel hyperaemia
