Comparative Investigation of Seasonal (Summer and Winter) and Sex‐Related Differences in Tear Production and Intraocular Pressure in Sakız, Çine Çaparı, and Karya Sheep

Key Points

• This investigation aims to compare seasonal and sex-related differences in tear production and intraocular pressure among three sheep breeds.
• Comparative investigation of Sakız, Çine Çaparı, and Karya sheep
• Assessment of tear production across summer and winter seasons
• Measurement of intraocular pressure and its relation to sex differences
• Seasonal variation significantly affects tear production in the sheep breeds
• Intraocular pressure remains largely stable across seasons
• Minor sex-related differences in tear production and intraocular pressure are observed in some breeds.
