Cyanopsia is a symptom rather than a disease, so the focus is on identifying the underlying cause that is making Cyanopsia occur. Doctors ask about recent cataract surgery or the use of medications like sildenafil, which are known to cause cyanopsia. The timing and duration of symptoms help distinguish cyanopsia from other vision issues. [7]
Cataracts can be developed through old age, diseases or trauma to the eye. [5] Some animals that are prone to the development of cataracts are dogs, elephants, horses, pandas and seals. Cataracts are less common in cats [6] in comparison to dogs, where it is fairly common. Just like with humans, cataract extraction surgery can be performed on ...
Approximately 50% of all congenital cataract cases may have a genetic cause which is quite heterogeneous. It is known that different mutations in the same gene can cause similar cataract patterns, while the highly variable morphologies of cataracts within some families suggest that the same mutation in a single gene can lead to different ...
Trauma can cause cataracts in childhood. [2] [4] There are different types of traumatic injury that cause cataracts in different parts of the world. Child abuse may cause traumatic injury to the eye and cataracts. [2] Open globe injuries are more often associated with cataracts than closed globe injuries. [4]

Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) is a group of genetic diseases seen in certain breeds of dogs and, more rarely, cats. Similar to retinitis pigmentosa in humans, [1] it is characterized by the bilateral degeneration of the retina, causing progressive vision loss culminating in blindness.
Skin disorders are among the most common health problems in cats and have many causes. The condition of a cat's skin and coat can be an important indicator of its general health. Cheyletiellosis is a mild dermatitis caused by mites of the genus Cheyletiella. It is also known as walking dandruff due to skin scales being carried by the mites ...
Arthritis may hinder a cat's ability to get into the litter box in time. Night-time vocalizing is relatively common in hyperthyroid cats or cats with hypertension, which can also cause retinal detachment and blindness, leading to anxiety and confusion. Progressively painful periodontal disease can discourage the cat from visiting its food bowl ...
