“…7,10 A study in dogs found that trauma was the most common individual cause of hyphema (26.1% of dogs), with a reported 88.2% of blunt trauma cases losing vision and 100% of cases of complete hyphema losing vision. 20 Similarly, this study has found hyphema to carry a much poorer prognosis, with five out of seven cases (71%) being non-visual (including enucleations and avisual cases). Superficial injuries such as subconjunctival hemorrhage were reported to cause blurring of vision in humans.…”

Objective To describe the clinical features, management, and outcome of dogs presenting with sports ball projectile ocular injuries. Animals Studied Eighteen dogs. Procedures A retrospective study reviewing cases of ocular injury due to a sports ball projectile that presented to the Cornell University ophthalmology service between 2004 and 2021. Dog age, type of sports ball, initial ocular lesions, eye affected, clinical management, and visual outcome were recorded. Results Sports ball projectile ocular injuries were identified in 18 eyes of 18 dogs. The median age of the dogs was 1.0 years old, ranging from 0.3‐ to 9‐years‐ old. Nine dogs were male, and 9 were female. Ocular injuries were caused by small, dense balls (e.g., golf balls, baseballs) in 11 dogs; small, light balls (e.g., tennis balls, toy balls) in 5 dogs; and large, soft balls (e.g., soccer ball, football) in 2 dogs. Closed‐globe injuries (12 of 18 eyes) presented with traumatic uveitis (91%), hyphema (45%), and subconjunctival hemorrhage (18%). All 12 closed‐globe injury cases were medically managed, eight dogs remained visual. Open‐globe injuries (6 of 18 dogs) presented with three corneal lacerations and three scleral ruptures. Five open‐globe injuries required enucleation, and one was medically managed and maintained vision. Conclusion Sports ball projectile ocular injuries in dogs can result in substantial ocular morbidity and in loss of vision. Small, dense balls were associated with injuries that carried the most guarded prognosis and required more aggressive management. Small and large lighter projectiles were associated with less serious ocular injuries and visual outcomes.

“…During the diagnosis, the fundus should be examined in terms of retinal hemorrhage and detachment, and IOP should be measured to check for secondary glaucoma, which is commonly encountered as a sequela. If the IOP is low, atropine 1% should be started twice a day and should be monitored at frequent intervals to prevent the synechia (Jinks et al, 2018;Mandell, 2011;Telle and Betbeze, 2015). To assess the position of the lens, retina and posterior wall and other intraocular structures, 10-15 MHz ophthalmic USG should be used in 3-4 cm focal range (Telle and Betbeze, 2015;Wilkie, 2003).…”

“…Mild to moderate cases of hyphema caused by trauma are mostly accompanied by anterior uveitis and dissolve in a range of 1-3 weeks if no damage is observed in other intraocular tissues. If damage has occurred in other intraocular tissues, sequelae such as cataract, posterior synechia, glaucoma, retinal detachment and blindness may be observed (Jinks et al, 2018;Mandell, 2011;Turner, 2008;Wilkie, 2003).…”

Head injuries and accidents that cause lesions in the eye tissue can cause loss of vision, pain and severe deformities. In the emergency clinic, intervention in eye injury cases requires accurate and rapid diagnosis. The main objectives of such interventions are to prevention of loss of vision, prevention of loss of bulbus oculi, reduction of pain, and prevention of long-term complications. Traumatic proptosis (especially brachicephalic dog breeds), traumatic retrobulbar hemorrhage, desematocele, iris prolapse and corneal lacerations are more common in dogs, cats and horses when evaluated according to animal species. General condition and regional deformity in clinical examination and loss of vision in systematic eye examination are evaluated. Complications should be prevented by medical intervention or surgery immediately after diagnosis. In conclusion, it is extremely important to prevent the permanent sequelae of the eye in the emergency clinic through a correct diagnosis without delay.

“…Depending on the severity of the retinal detachment, clinical signs may range from a complete lack of clinical signs to total blindness, and may be reversible or permanent. RD is most commonly identified on fundic examination, but can also be identified with ocular ultrasound when visualization of the fundus is obscured due to cataract, anterior and/or posterior uveitis, hyphema, or significant corneal edema, fibrosis, and/or melanosis 12–22 . Although MRI is not used for primary diagnosis of RD, all or part of the globe is often included within the imaging field‐of‐view in MRI examinations performed to evaluate the brain, retrobulbar space, or other parts of the splanchnocranium.…”

The aim of this retrospective observational study was to characterize the MRI appearance of retinal detachment (RD) in a sample of dogs and cats. Study inclusion was based on the following medical record criteria: (a) had a diagnosis of RD in at least one eye by either funduscopic examination or ocular ultrasound and had an MRI evaluation including the eyes, or (b) had a diagnosis of RD documented in an MRI report for at least one eye and also had a clinical eye examination. Eighteen patients (12 dogs, 6 cats) and 35 eyes met the inclusion criteria, although four eyes that were clinically examined could not be visualized funduscopically and did not have ocular ultrasound performed (criterion 2). The MRI and clinical diagnosis (via either funduscopy or ultrasound) of RD/no RD was concordant in 27 of 31 eyes (87%). Qualitatively, RD appeared as a variable intensity curvilinear structure located internal and adjacent to the sclera on all sequences and was best delineated on T2W sequences. RDs inconsistently contrast enhanced and, although there was no statistical difference, subjectively appeared more clearly delineated on dorsal and parasagittal images. In conclusion, findings from the current study support using MRI as an ancillary diagnostic test for confirmation or further characterization of RD in dogs and cats.

Causes and outcomes of dogs presenting with hyphema to a referral hospital in Colorado: a retrospective analysis of 99 cases

Abstract: Prognosis for vision is highly dependent on the cause of hyphema and initial exam findings. Poor prognostic factors on presentation include absent dazzle, absent consensual PLR, elevated IOP, unilateral hyphema, and complete hyphema.
