Pigmentary superficial keratitis (PSK) is a chronic corneal disorder with different causes, which may include immune-mediated diseases and reactions to ultraviolet rays. This study aimed to evaluate the use of automated central lamellar superficial keratectomy (ACLSK) in the treatment of chronic ...

Background: Pigmentary keratitis (PK) is commonly recognised in Pugs, but its aetiology is not completely understood. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and associated features of PK in Pugs in the United Kingdom (UK). Results: A total of 210 Pugs (420 eyes) were recruited from...

A review on the clinical aspects, diagnosis, incidence, pathogenesis, and treatment of dry eye disease and pigmentary keratitis in brachycephalic dogs was presented.

The population of small brachycephalic breeds are on the rise and are becoming more popular with the pet-owning public. However, along with this popularity is the corresponding increase in the number of dogs presenting brachycephaly-related diseases (BRDs) which demonstrates the link between...

Background: Brachycephalic breeds have anatomical skull changes that are responsible for ocular clinical signs, known as the brachycephalic ocular syndrome (BOS). Their popularity has increased in recent years but the excessive pressure of selection lead to extreme conformation of skull shapes,...

Objective: To describe five cases of protozoal keratitis or conjunctivitis in dogs with chronic preexisting ocular surface disease treated with long-term immunosuppression. Animals studied: Five dogs that developed corneal or conjunctival mass lesions. Procedures: The database of the Comparative...

Objective: To describe and evaluate the use of corneoconjunctival transposition (CTT) as a surgical treatment for canine deep stromal ulcers, descemetoceles, and full-thickness corneal defects and to determine its efficacy in preserving corneal graft transparency and vision. Animals studied: One...

Objective: To compare complication rates and visual outcomes following phacoemulsification in Pugs versus dogs of other breeds. Animals studied: Thirty-two pure-bred Pugs (55 eyes) and 32 dogs of other breeds (56 eyes) undergoing phacoemulsification. Procedures: Multi-institutional retrospective...

15 dogs with proptosis of eyeball have been reviewed, discussed and were surgical managed during the study. The ages of affected dogs ranged from two months to 8 years. The breeds encountered were Mongrels (5), Spitz (4), Pugs (4) and Shih tzu (2). Nine of the dogs affected were males. Enucleation...

Objective: To assess whether soft cryotherapy (dimethylether, isobutene, and propane) can remove pigmentation of the cornea that has accumulated under different conditions when conventional therapy has been unsuccessful. Animals studied: Nine dogs with unilateral or bilateral corneal pigmentation...
