This is a sad case, which the owner kindly let me photograph to share. In this beautiful eye the iris is diffusely swollen, especially laterally where you can see the red discolouration. The other eye was similar. This bilateral uveitis was due to multicentric lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph system. You don't often see subtle lesions like this, as dogs normally have dark coloured irises, so the red colour change is less obvious. You can also note the mildly irregular pupil.

I know not everyone shares my tastes, but here's a fun case! Poor Brodie took the "look before you leap" advice too far and didn't close his eyes when dashing through a hedge. The inevitable thorn had fully penetrated the cornea, but was happily coaxed back out with a suture preplaced to plug the leak. The last photo shows his eye a couple of days later - ready for the next adventure!

One more quick one, because it's a been a while! Lens luxation in cats is normally secondary to other changes in the eye, whereas dogs can have a primary genetic problem that causes it. Distant direct ophthalmoscopy is a good way to highlight the dropped lens inside the eye.

Cherry eye (or Pr*****ed Nictitans Gland) is common in young dogs of some breeds. Staffies like Nyla aren't at very high risk, but it does happen! Thankfully, surgery is normally curative and her long term outcome should be good. The pink blob is a tear-producing gland, and removing it might increase Nyla's risk of dry eye later in life. So we carefully put it back where it should be! She'll have to wear a cone for a few days, but has a good chance of healing without complication.
