15.3 inflammations, infections, hereditary, congenital and developmental disorders and other abnorma

purulent infection of conjunctiva (also called pinkeye)

inflammation of the eyelid

inflammation of choroid and retina (also called retinochoroiditis)

inflammation of choroid

inflammation of conjunctiva

inflammation of lacrimal gland (also called dacryadenitis)

inflammation of lacrimal sac

inflammation of iris

inflammation of cornea

inflammation of cornea and conjunctiva because of a deficiency in tear production (also called dry eye)

inflammation of deeper structures of eye (also called ophthalmia)

inflammation of optic nerve

inflammation of all structures of eye

inflammation of retina

inflammation of sclera

inflammation of uvea, which includes iris, ciliary body and choroid

absence of color vision from degeneration of the retinal cones; a hereditary disease of humans and malamute dogs.

absense of pigment in eye

absense or rudimentary development of one or both eyes (also called anophthalmia)

prolapse of gland of third eyelid in dogs

opacity of lens originating before birth

misplacement of lens

rolling outward of eyelid, common in St. Bernards

rolling inward of eyelid, common in chow chows and shar-peis.

excessive tearing, common in poodles

abnormally small eyes

fibrous bands or strictures present in iris or adhering iris to other eye structures

hyper- (over) or hypo- (under) contraction of pupil on exposure to light

blindness

uneven size of pupils

absense of lens, usually used to describe absence of lens after cataract surgery, but it may also be a congenital anomaly

defective curvature of refractive surfaces of eye, causing light rays to spread over a more or less diffuse area and not sharply focus on retina (stigma means point)

spasm of eyelid or excessive winking of eyes

lack or loss of sight, with variety of causes and a number of types

opacity of crystalline lens or its capsule, with a number of types and varying causes

opacity of cornea

lesion of cornea

noninflammatory degeneration of retina, characterized by retinal ischemia, hemmorhages and exudation

double vision (diplo means double)

disease characterized by excessive intraocular pressure, with hardness of eye, atrophy of retina, and possible progression to blindness

retinal degeneration caused by hypertension

accumulation of pus in anterior chamber of eye

opacity in lens

nearsightedness, caused by refraction error, which focuses parallel rays in front of retina

drying out of lens with age

involuntary, rapid, horizontal, vertical, rotary or mixed movements of eyebal (nys means nod)

paralysis of eye muscles

abnormal membrane-like corneal vascularization (pannus means cloth)

displacement of eye out of its orbit

dropping or falling of eyelid

separation of retina from choroid that causes loss of vision; caused by abscesses or hemmorhages in vitreous body, trauma, complications of intraocular surgery, inflammation or tumors of choroid, and passage of vitreous or aqueous humor through hole in retina

deviation of eye, with various forms called tropias (meaning turning), including estropia (turning inward; also called convergent strabismus or crossed eyes and seen in some Siamese cats); extropia (turning outward; also called wall-eyed), hypertropia (upward deviation of one eye); and hypotropia (downard deviation of one eye)

adhesion of one part of eye to another, especially iris to cornea or lens (synechia means continuity)

irritation of the cornea caused by abnormal hairs growing from the palpebral margins and impinging on the corneal surface

a condition of dry corneas and conjunctivae
