Blepharitis
Inflammation of the eyelids
Condition

Condition
Otitis Media
T/F: Collie Eye Anomaly is always bilateral.
True
Consequences of otitis media?
Inflammation or perforation of tympanic membrane
Erosion of auditory ossicles
Horners syndrome
Osteosclerosis of tympanic bulla
Inflammatory polyps
Progression to otitis interna
Condition
Corneal edema
Glaucoma
Increase IOP due to movenment of aqueous
Primary vs Secondary
Ciliary-Iridociliary adenoma/carcinomas are typically (benign/malignant)
Benign
Cause of Keratomalacia
