Ultrasound diagnostics of the eye for animals

Has your pet's vision deteriorated? Has it been diagnosed with an eye disease before? Ultrasound diagnostics of the eye will determine the extent of the problem. This is a non-invasive examination method that allows the veterinarian to examine the structure of the eyeball, optic nerve, and oculomotor muscles.

The diagnosis provides information about the structures inside the eye, the parameters of the eyeball, the structure of normal and abnormal components (narrowing of the tear ducts, tumors, effusion).

Why do animals undergo eye ultrasound?

Ophthalmologic examinations are required to check the state of vision of cats and dogs. An ultrasonography of the eye is prescribed for an animal if:

• The cornea, lens, or vitreous are cloudy.
• There has been an eye injury, dislocation or subluxation of the lens.
• There is a suspicion of a foreign body, glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment, optic nerve papillitis.
• There are congenital abnormalities of the eye and its vessels.
• Displaced eyeball.

The examination is also relevant before eye surgery. Ultrasound diagnostics of the eye can detect the slightest deviations from the norm, including degenerative changes and inclusions in the vitreous, as well as pathologies of the muscles that move the eye.
