Glaucoma in dogs and cats

IIIuliana Ionaşcu

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore the impacts of glaucoma on vision in dogs and cats and the importance of monitoring intraocular pressure.
  • Describing the condition of glaucoma in animals
  • Discussing the role of intraocular pressure in eye health
  • Outlining measurement techniques like Tono-Pen and Tono-Vet Plus
  • Increased intraocular pressure can lead to vision loss or blindness in pets
  • Normal IOP values should be consistent across both eyes in healthy animals

Abstract

Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by vision loss, up to and including blindness, due to damage to the retina and optic nerve resulting from increased intraocular pressure. Intraocular pressure (IOP), also known as ophthalmotonus, is the pressure exerted by intraocular fluids (aqueous humor) on the walls of the eyeball. Intraocular pressure is measured using the Tono-Pen and Tono-Vet Plus digital tonometers. In healthy animals, the IOP value should be equal in both eyes.
