Cat Eye Problem

How to catch cat eye problem? Signs of feline eye disease include squinting, pawing or rubbing of the eye, redness of the tissue lining the eyelid,

excessive tearing, unequal pupil sizes, a visible third eyelid (a white membrane that fans out of the inner corner of the eye), cloudiness or color change in the eye and blindness.

Cat eye problems

	Conjuctivitis simply means inflammation of the conjuctiva, the delicate membrane which covers and protects eye. In the cat the main cause is pollen or dust getting into the eyes. The pollen or dust produces an irritation which allows bacteria to start to multiply.
	Sometimes the trigger cause is a foreign body, grass seed or oat husk on the eye surface or lodged underneath the nictitating membrane (the third eyelid). The respiratory virus of cat flu and an organism called Chlamydia also attack the conjuctiva and may cause a chronic conjunctivitis. Symptoms are tears run down the cheek from the affected eye and in a day or two, if untreated, the eye will partially or completely close and mucus or yellow pus will form in the corner of the eye and along the lid.
	Keratitis means inflammation of the cornea (see eye anatomy picture) the tough membrane which covers the central surface of the eye. It may cause by direct injury or may flare up secondary to a bacterial conjunctivitis. The cat blinks rapidly or keeps the eye tightly closed. There is a watery discharge quickly developing into a mucus or pus. The blood vessels of the sclera (the white of the eye) become congested.

Squint

This occurs when the cat’s eyeballs move independently of each other. Squinting need not necessarily impede the vision. Usually it causes a hereditary weakness, especially in the Siamese breed.

	Glaucoma is a distension of the eyeball de to an excessive accumulation of fluid within the eye. One or both eyes may be affected. The cornea of the eye is nourished by fluid called lymph. Glaucoma may be caused by an excessive supply of lymph, but more usually it is brought about by an interference with the lymph drainage.
	Entropion occurs when the eyelid become inverted. The condition is nothing like as common in cats as it is in dogs. The inverted lid rubs over the surface of the eye producing a traumatic conjunctivitis, keratitis or other.
	Cataract this is an opacity or clouding over of the crystalline lens of the eye. It is uncommon in the cat, though it can occur congenitally. Chiefly old age though any condition that interferes with the nutrition of the lens can cause it such as direct injury to the eye or pressure from glaucoma or tumors.
	Haw this is the name given to the condition where the third eyelid or membrane nictitans comes partially over the eye. This cat eye problem is usually an indication that cat is out of sort and requires vet attention.
