Educational Overview
Glaucoma in Pets
Glaucoma is a painful eye condition caused by increased pressure inside the eye due to impaired drainage of fluid. This pressure damages the optic nerve and can rapidly lead to partial or complete blindness if not treated promptly.
Common signs
include redness of the eye, cloudiness or a blue haze, squinting, excessive tearing, pawing at the eye, sensitivity to light, a dilated or non-responsive pupil, and vision loss. Pets may also show lethargy, reduced appetite, or behavioral changes due to pain.
Causes
may be primary (genetic, more common in dogs such as Cocker Spaniels, Basset Hounds, and Shiba Inus) or secondary to other eye conditions such as uveitis, lens luxation, trauma, tumors, or cataracts. Cats often develop glaucoma secondary to chronic eye inflammation.
Diagnosis
is made by a veterinarian using tonometry to measure intraocular pressure, along with a full ophthalmic examination.
Treatment focuses on rapidly lowering eye pressure and managing pain.
Important Veterinary Care
Glaucoma and SARDS both require veterinary diagnosis and ongoing monitoring.
Additional Practitioner Notes
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a condition where fluid builds up inside the eye, increasing intraocular pressure and potentially damaging the optic nerve. Early signs may include watery discharge, cloudiness, bulging of the eye, and sensitivity to light. Supportive care traditionally focuses on circulation, pressure balance, and comfort.
SARDS (Sudden Acquired Retinal Degeneration Syndrome)
SARDS is characterised by sudden and irreversible blindness. While the exact cause remains unclear, immune, adrenal, and metabolic factors are suspected. Supportive care may aim to balance systemic health and strengthen resilience in affected pets.
