Eye diseases in pets can affect their vision, comfort, and quality of life. 🐶🐱

Some of the common eye diseases in pets are:

• Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye or red eye, which is an inflammation of the lining of the eye. It can be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, irritants, foreign matter, trauma, parasites, or allergies. It can cause redness, swelling, discharge, squinting, blinking, or pawing at the eye¹
• Corneal ulcers, which are scratches or cuts on the surface of the eye. They can be caused by trauma, foreign matter, dry eye, infection, or eyelid abnormalities. They can cause pain, tearing, light sensitivity, or cloudy appearance of the eye¹
• Glaucoma, which is a condition where the pressure inside the eye is too high. It can be caused by inherited defects, inflammation, infection, trauma, or tumors. It can cause pain, redness, enlarged pupil, cloudy cornea, or vision loss¹²
• Cataracts, which are cloudy areas in the lens of the eye. They can be caused by aging, diabetes, trauma, infection, inflammation, or genetics. They can cause blurred vision, glare sensitivity, or blindness¹²
• Dry eye, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), which is a condition where the tear production is inadequate. It can be caused by immune-mediated disease, drugs, nerve damage, or tear duct problems. It can cause thick discharge, redness, irritation, corneal ulcers, or scarring¹³
