- CONCLUSIONS: Primary inferolateral lower eyelid entropion was the predominant ophthalmic abnormality in Maine Coons. Its high prevalence and occurrence in young cats suggest a potential breed predisposition.

- Novel Therapy for Severe Bilateral Pyogranulomatous Blepharitis Secondary to Hyaluronic Acid Filler in a Dog. [Case Reports]Vet Ophthalmol. 2026 Nov; 29(6).VO
- A 9-year-old female spayed mixed breed dog was initially examined for severe bilateral entropion secondary to enophthalmos from chronic oral steroid use for immune-mediated thrombocytopenia as well as potential historic masticatory muscle myositis. Surgical intervention with entropion surgery was pursued; however, trichiasis secondary to laxity of the periocular muscles, eyelid tissues, and tarsa…

- Effects of Lens Status and Prophylactic Transscleral Retinopexy on Vision Outcomes in Boston Terriers Following Phacoemulsification. [Journal Article]Vet Ophthalmol. 2026 Nov; 29(6).VO
- CONCLUSIONS: In Boston Terrier eyes undergoing phacoemulsification, pseudophakia may result in higher risks of postoperative ocular hypertension and glaucoma compared to intentional aphakia.

- Ultrasound Biomicroscopy Analysis of Ciliary Cleft, Ciliary Body, and Ciliary Muscle Changes Following Capsular Tension Ring Implantation in Dogs. [Journal Article]Vet Ophthalmol. 2026 Nov; 29(6).VO
- CONCLUSIONS: CTR implantation was associated with measurable morphological changes in the ciliary cleft, ciliary body, and ciliary muscle without affecting IOP. Although these changes were statistically significant, they were not associated with detectable adverse clinical effects during the follow-up period.

- Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography of Orbital and Intraocular Pathologies in 24 Dogs and 6 Cats. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Findings indicated that CEUS could identify a variety of orbital and intraocular pathologies and provided additional diagnostic information to B-mode ultrasonography, particularly for assessing neoplastic lesions and retinal detachments. CEUS has the potential to enhance ophthalmic ultrasonography in differentiating specific pathologies. Prospective studies are warranted to further evaluate its clinical use.

- Age-Related Pupillary Margin Atrophy in Dogs: Quantification, Topographic Distribution, and Possible Pathophysiologic Implications. [Journal Article]Vet Ophthalmol. 2026 Nov; 29(6):e70283.VO
- CONCLUSIONS: Atrophic changes of the pupillary margin occur in all dogs with age, starting at 16 months in the population observed and are significantly more severe in older patients. This study provides an initial quantitative and qualitative scoring system to guide future work. Iridal changes likely result from biophysical interaction between the pupillary margin and the lens. The advanced changes may represent homeostatic responses to tissue damage. The missing tissue and its released molecules may constitute a chronic trigger for innate immunity. Pupillary margin changes may represent indicators of risk factors for the pathogenesis of age-related clinical conditions in breeds with genetic predispositions.

- The Impact of Systemic Treatment With Flunixin Meglumine on the Two Antiproteases Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M) and Alpha-1-Antitrypsin (A1AT) in Equine Plasma and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF). [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: The systemic NSAID, flunixin meglumine, does not appear to significantly alter antiprotease concentrations in equine plasma or PRF. Although PRF should not be used as a replacement for plasma, solid PRF may be a good adjunctive therapy for the treatment of keratomalacia due to its high A1AT concentration.

- CONCLUSIONS: SEDs offer physiologically rational adjunctive therapy for OSD in animals. Although serum and plasma have similar antiprotease activity, serum may promote better epithelial healing. Further veterinary studies are warranted.

- A 7-month-old intact female mixed-breed dog presented emergently for inability to walk, lethargy, and vomiting. The patient was diagnosed with immune-mediated polyarthritis (IMPA) and secondary systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Bilateral keratouveitis and secondary glaucoma developed within 24 h of presentation. Thorough diagnostic testing failed to identify an underlying etiology. …

- Anterior Segment OCT Diagnosis of Descemet's Membrane Detachment in a Cat With Suspected FIP-Associated Uveitis. [Case Reports]Vet Ophthalmol. 2026 Nov; 29(6):e70276.VO
- CONCLUSIONS: This case describes the AS-OCT diagnosis and serial documentation of DMD and subsequent Descemet's membrane reapposition in a cat with suspected FIP-associated uveitis. These findings highlight the value of AS-OCT for identifying and monitoring posterior corneal abnormalities, including DMD, in cats with severe anterior uveitis and persistent corneal edema. The relationships among suspected FIP-associated uveitis, treatment, and DMD could not be determined from this single case.

- Meibomian Gland Epithelioma Mimicking Eyelid Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Hereford-Cross Steer. [Case Reports]Vet Ophthalmol. 2026 Nov; 29(6):e70274.VO
- CONCLUSIONS: Meibomian gland epitheliomas are one of the most common eyelid tumors of dogs; however, this is the first known report of a histologically confirmed meibomian gland epithelioma in cattle. Clinically, the mass resembled the appearance of squamous cell carcinoma, a common eyelid tumor in Hereford cattle. The clinical misclassification of a benign eyelid mass as squamous cell carcinoma could lead to unnecessary aggressive management such as enucleation, exenteration, or culling. This case confirms the importance of histopathologic analysis of excised tissues to reach an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment and follow-up plans.
