Open full text 1 citations

Abstract

Catarct is an opacity of the lens resulting from pathologic changes in lens protein composition or disruption of lens fiber arrangement.Cataracts or opacities of the lens of the eye,are a leading cause of blindness or an increasing cause of vision loss in dogs.Cataract removal or lens extraction is one of the most common surgeries performed by veterinary ophthalmologists.A lot of techniques for lens removal have been described,including intracapsular(removal of the lens capsule,cortex and nucleus together)and extracapsular(removal of the lens cortex and nucleus,and leaving most of the lens capsule in situ)procedures.Phacoemulsification with aspiration of the lens material,a type of extracapsular cataract removal,is the most common technique for removal of cataracts in veterinary patients.
