  • Novel Therapy for Severe Bilateral Pyogranulomatous Blepharitis Secondary to Hyaluronic Acid Filler in a Dog. [Case Reports]
    Vet Ophthalmol. 2026 Nov; 29(6).Dacanay-DeFebo S, Putra A, … Newbold GVO
  • 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…
  • Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography of Orbital and Intraocular Pathologies in 24 Dogs and 6 Cats. [Journal Article]
    Vet Ophthalmol. 2026 Nov; 29(6):e70281.Ortner JI, Hittmair KM, … Blohm KOVO
  • 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.Pizzirani SVO
  • 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.
  • 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.Jung JS, Hwang J, … Park KMVO
  • 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.Reid A, Taylor R, … Knickelbein KEVO
  • 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.
