Nova nosographia ophthalmica, John Taylor, 1766

"John Taylor, commonly known as the “Chevalier” was a notorious itinerant oculist. He studied under Cheselden and spent most of his life traveling throughout Europe and even into Asia, couching cataracts (often with disastrous results) and selling his miraculous ointments and eye washes. Chevalier Taylor’s false and bombastic claims, his surgical blunders, and his shameless pursuit of money earned him the loathing of honest ophthalmologists."

According to a new mouse study, gut bacteria may cause vision loss in certain eye diseases, which could potentially be treated with antibiotics. Researchers from China and the UK discovered bacteria from the gut in damaged areas of the eyes of mice with mutations in the Crumbs homolog 1 (CRB1) gene, a major cause of inherited eye diseases.

owner : i wish to stop treatment because eyedrops are too stressful to my cat.

sue : ah yes, it is so important to not stress cat…more important than eye ulcer i guess.

Vision issues include any chronic problems within your eyes themselves, including but not limited to: near/farsightedness, lazy eye, astigmatism, strabismus, blindness, glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, missing eye[s], extreme sensitivity to light, colorblindness, or night blindness. Anything you would need to see a specialist for.

Vision issues do not include external injuries to the eye or temporary infections of the eye such as pinkeye.

Disclaimer: kitten has already seen a vet, enucleation is planned as soon as she hits their minimum weight. Just asking as a vet student who feels like they have way too many little bits of info floating around in their brain to be sure about anything lol.

Kitten was dropped off at shelter with 0 history (of course), and my knowledge on this case is a little vague. Is this likely just from an infection left too long, that probably sealed the eye shut at some point and worsened? (Like, viral -> bacterial?) It looks it’s proptosed to me, but I’m also not sure if that’s just massive swelling. If it IS proptosed, is that a common sequelae of severe infection? Or do you really only get that with trauma in cats, and then secondary infection?

Not sure if my thinking is way off base, just looking for some general insight into how these eyes end up looking so gnarly. I feel like we’ve had quite a few dropped off this year. Thank you!

Hi, it's Sueanoi here.

I'm glad the kitten is getting some vet attention now. I hope the healing goes as smooth as it can.

As to answer your question, I don't think that's proptosis (eyeball goes out of orbit). I think it is ruptured cornea that has severe inflammation on top.

Anything at all can cause a secondary corneal injury if the eye is irritated, causing the animal to scratch it and worsening the lesion. Over time, superficial ulcers can become perforated.

Over here in SEA, young stray cats are very often infected with feline herpes. It is a very common cause of blindness (as the last consequence of virus-induced ulcer) here.

Your thinking isn't entirely off base, because virus -> bacteria -> catastrophic consequense IS probably correct.

Once it is time to enucleate, I suggest you observe the surgery. I am quite certain that the globe itself is still sitting within the orbit. The things that are coming out of the cat's head is the eyeball's insides that are spilled out of the ruptured cornea.

Keep clean and control infection. There is a chance that the cat won't even need the surgery if the eye shrink down and become enophalmos before it reaches minumum weight (which might take weeks...whichever happen first). Downside of keeping the shrunk eye is having to keep it clean for the rest of its life. So if that is a factor for the cat getting an adoption, removing it anyway for ease of care is still a valid choice.

Best of luck!

LiDAR reveals vast ancient Maya city and complex networks hidden in Mexico's Campeche forest

- By Nuadox Crew -

Archaeologists have uncovered thousands of ancient Maya structures and a large city named Valeriana in Campeche, Mexico, using aerial LiDAR technology to penetrate dense forest cover.

The discovery, which spans around 47 square miles, includes urban and rural settlements with reservoirs, temples, and roads, resembling other major Maya cities.

Previously overlooked due to its inaccessibility, Campeche is now recognized as a vital part of the Maya Lowlands, revealing complex urban planning and extensive connectivity among Maya cities.

The findings challenge the view of Maya cities as isolated entities, instead suggesting a vast, interconnected network.

Experts consider LiDAR a transformative tool, reshaping understanding of ancient Maya civilization and its environmental adaptation, organization, and conservation needs.

Crucio in game kind of reminded me of lightning or electrocution. We know Ominis has been blind since birth so we know it’s unrelated (it’s more likely a result of the Gaunt’s inbreeding) but could the crucio spell have made them look like this at least? Enjoy my ophthalmology nerd takes. 👀

I have a theory that (at least part) of the scarring on Makima’s corneas are due to her having had corrective radial keratotomy surgery since CSM takes place in ‘97 and LASIK wasn’t big yet

[sueanoi-the-vet]

yet another keratectomy case. corneal nigrum is very mild, but the indolent ulcer that it caused has repeated 3 times already. so it has to go

this cat has FeLV. compromised immunity is one of many risk factors.

i debride with sterile cotton, then chemically debride with povidone iodine. Finally i removed the layer of cornea that has the nigrum on it with crescent knife.
