| Description |
Cataract is defined as any opacification of the lens, regardless of cause, size or location. (Slatter, 1990). Most cataracts in dogs are inherited, although congenital defects, nutritional deficiencies, toxic substances, uveal adhesions and diabetes mellitus may cause them. The basic abnormality in cataract formation is degeneration of the normal protein structure of the lens fibers (Truscott, 2005) As lens proteins degenerate they liquefy and such cataracts as referred to as hypermature. Liquefied lens material may or may not leak out of the lens capsule. Leakage of lens material through an intact capsule typically results in a lymphocytic-plasmacytic inflammatory response called phacolytic uveitis. Mineralization is seen in extremely advanced cataracts, particularly in the lens capsule. Intumescent cataracts are recognized clinically by the presence of a shallow anterior chamber. Wrinkling or flattening of the anterior lens capsule recognizes resorption of lens proteins. In only very young dogs ( |
