Strabismus is a vision disorder in which the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object. [2] The eye that is pointed at an object can alternate. [3] The condition may be present occasionally or constantly. [3] If present during a large part of childhood, it may result in amblyopia, or lazy eyes, and loss of depth ...
Specialty. Ophthalmology. Exotropia is a form of strabismus where the eyes are deviated outward. It is the opposite of esotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than exophoria. People with exotropia often experience crossed diplopia. Intermittent exotropia is a fairly common condition. "Sensory exotropia" occurs in the presence ...
Hypertropia is a condition of misalignment of the eyes ( strabismus ), whereby the visual axis of one eye is higher than the fellow fixating eye. Hypotropia is the similar condition, focus being on the eye with the visual axis lower than the fellow fixating eye. Dissociated vertical deviation is a special type of hypertropia leading to slow ...
Cats' eyes are largely similar to ours but with some fascinating differences, and one thing they have that we don't is a third, inner eyelid, called the nictitating membrane. When a cat blinks it ...
A rare predominantly black cat with odd eyes. The odd-eyed colouring is caused when either the epistatic (recessive) white gene or dominant white (which masks any other colour genes and turns a cat completely white, solid white) [3] or the white spotting gene (which is the gene responsible for bicolour coats) [4] prevents melanin granules from reaching one eye during development, resulting in ...
A recent study from researchers at Oakland University in Michigan suggests that cats do indeed grieve the loss of other pets - yes, even dogs. People Magazine covered the findings from the Oakland ...
When one eye is misaligned, the brain continues to see two images rather than the combined image. In a young child, the brain learns to see only the image from the eye pointed ahead, ignoring the ...
The white-spotted cat hisses at the dog, the solid-white deaf cat dozes unaware of the barking. Congenital sensorineural deafness occurs commonly in domestic cats with a white coat. It is a congenital deafness caused by a degeneration of the inner ear. [1] Deafness is far more common in white cats than in those with other coat colours.
