One of the most common things we see, an Indolent ulcer. In this first image, the arrows are pointing to non-adherent epithelium. The second picture is after a diamond-burr debridement procedure. In the second image this patient was healed and the blood vessels were beginning to regress. In several weeks, this cornea will look as good as new!

This type of ulcer is also called a “non-healing” ulcer, boxer ulcer, and spontaneous chronic corneal epithelial defect (SCCED). When an ulcer becomes indolent, there is a delay in healing due to poor attachment of the epithelium to underlying stroma, formation of a hyaline, membrane, and other factors. In order to stimulate proper healing, debridement procedures (either a cotton tipped applicator debridement or a diamond-burr debridement) is performed.

Top images are the before and bottom images are the after of eyelid mass removal (right eye) and application of filler into the upper and lower eyelids to correct entropion (inward rolling of the eyelids). This patient is a rescue and new owner has never been able to see into her eyes. Thankfully after the procedures, owner is able to see both of Nala’s eyes clearly with no excessive mucoid discharge!

This eye shows corneal endothelial degeneration, a condition where the inner layer of the cornea (the endothelium) loses its ability to properly pump fluid out of the cornea. When this happens, fluid builds up, leading to corneal edema (the cloudy/blue appearance you see here), discomfort, and vision impairment.

Treatment depends on severity, and both medical and surgical options are available to help reduce corneal edema and improve comfort.

If you notice cloudiness, squinting, or increased tearing in your pet’s eye, early evaluation is key. 👁️🐾

Red was presented for an upper eyelid margin mass that was beginning to irritate his cornea. Swipe to see him after wedge resection!

>90% of eyelid margin masses in dogs are benign (non-cancerous), with the most common mass arising from meibomian glands (oil glands that line the eyelids). In order to definitively diagnose the type of tumor, it needs to be removed and the sample submitted for histopathology.

What are we looking at?!
This picture shows a lens subluxation (partially shifted out of place). If you look closely you can see the structures that are supposed to hold that lens in place called zonules. These are holding on as best as they can! If the zonules completely break free then the lens becomes luxated (fully out of place) and this can be a surgical emergency. This is characterized by redness, discomfort, discharge and potentially high pressures (glaucoma). If this happens, then the lens will need to be surgically removed to preserve vision and provide comfort. Eyes are AMAZING!

Verspoce came in for a CAER examination - 10% of her time with us was Dr. Berkowski performing his exam, the other 90% consisted of cuddles 🤍

We love hearing how our patients are doing - and Rex is looking paws-itively wonderful 🐾🐾

"I've been taking my dog to Dr. Boss for several months now, and she's excellent and very attentive to my Golden Doodle's well-being. Thanks to her treatment, Rex is doing great. Dr. Boss is always on top of Rex's health."

Moments like this remind us why we do what we do - helping pets see and feel their best every day. 🩷

This beautiful Saint Bernard, Betty Lou, visited VEI Plano for an eyelid mass. Early evaluation of eyelid growths is so important to protect comfort and vision. She was an absolute sweetheart with our team and did wonderfully throughout her visit! 😍
