replication in the cornea and nervous system. 54 Because HSV-1 (and possibly the closely related feline herpesvirus-1) is itself a weak IFN inducer in corneal epithelial cells, exogenous topical application of IFN may have beneficial effects in controlling
anaerobic bacteria can also be recovered from the conjunctival sac of dogs. 1,4 Fungi are found on the cornea of 14% to 22% dogs, with Alternaria spp, Cladosporium spp, Pénicillium spp, and Aspergillus spp most frequently isolated. 7,8 These
. Cellularity of the stroma is minimal in healthy corneas, and the stroma contains mostly mesenchymal cells derived from the neural crest (ie, keratocytes) that occupy approximately 2% to 3% of the total volume of the stroma. 1,2 Keratocytes play an important
ophthalmologically normal corneas. Furthermore, repeated topical application of these medications did not cause overt ocular irritation. Comparatively, moxifloxacin AH concentrations were significantly higher than those of ciprofloxacin, consistent with results of
(bradycardia, tachycardia, arrhythmia, murmur, or congestive heart failure), visual impairment (ulceration of the cornea, iris disorder, or cataract), neurologic dysfunction (decreased awareness, hearing impairment, decreased proprioception, incontinence, or
buffer. Corneas were first punctured with a pointed scalpel blade, and the anterior segment was flushed with fixative by use of a 27gauge needle. 32 After 5 minutes, the eyes were hemisected along the ora serrata and the cornea, lens, and vitreous body
anatomic sites such as skin, conjunctiva, cornea, and the oral cavity of cats with clinical evidence of primary or recrudescent herpetic disease have been tested. 14,15,ref23–29 Less commonly, FHV-1 DNA has been detected in the blood of cats with clinical
triplicate via computer software e at a standard magnification. The diameter of the reflected image, the actual diameter of the light ring, and the distance from the cornea were used to calculate the corneal radius of curvature by use of the mirror
ultrasound pachymetry, ultrasound biomicroscopy, and digital caliper in frozen canine corneas . Vet Ophthalmol . 2018 ; 21 ( 4 ): 339 – 346 . doi: 10.1111/vop.12509 11. Herbig LE , Eule JC . Central corneal thickness measurements and
The cornea requires a healthy tear film to protect and nourish the ocular surface and to provide optical clarity for optimal vision. An accurate and precise blinking mechanism is essential for the distribution and drainage of the tear film and to
