  2. Cyanopsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanopsia

    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]

  3. Feline arterial thromboembolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_arterial_thrombo...

    Up to 17% of cats with HCM experience arterial thromboembolism, but cats with other cardiomyopathies are also at increased risk. Cats with abnormally increased hemostasis, which can occur with hyperthyroidism, tumors, extensive inflammation, blood poisoning (sepsis), injury, or disseminated intravascular coagulation, represent another risk ...

  4. Blindness in animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindness_in_animals

    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 ...

  5. Childhood cataract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood_cataract

    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]

  6. Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchs_heterochromic...

    Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis (FHI) is a chronic unilateral uveitis appearing with the triad of heterochromia, predisposition to cataract and glaucoma, and keratitic precipitates on the posterior corneal surface. Patients are often asymptomatic and the disease is often discovered through investigation of the cause of the heterochromia or ...

  7. Progressive retinal atrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_retinal_atrophy

    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.

  8. Feline hyperesthesia syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_hyperesthesia_syndrome

    During these episodes, affected cats can be extremely difficult to distract from their behaviour, and often appear to be absent-minded or in a trance-like state. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Overall, the prognosis for the syndrome is good, so long as the syndrome does not result in excessive self-aggression and self- mutilation that may lead to infection.

  9. Congenital cataract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_cataract

    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 ...
