Leukocytes
Proteases/collagenases liquefy cornal stroma-ucler suppurative keratomalacia**
Nets encircle liquefying focus—ring abscess
What is the sequelae for ulc keratitis
healing w/vasc/scarring/granulation

What is the pathogen responsible for equine keratomycosis, where is the tropsim for, and what are the 2 syndromes is causes
Aspergillus
Descemets membrane
Superficial stromal-no inflammation
Deep stromal-intense suppurative keratomalacia-corneal perforation/iris prolapse
What are the other names for canine pannus keratitis
chronic superficial keratitis
uberreiters syndrome
What is the most commonest form of non ulcerative keratitis
Interstitial (stromal) keratitis
you have no ulceration of the cornea, but you see bilateral vascularized opaciy in the corneal stroma andmarked pigmentation?
what can cause this
uberreiters syndrome/stromal keratitis/ pannus keratitis
Prolonged exposure to UV light
Dust and high altitudes
What is a disease of the decreased lacrymal secretion?

Keratitis punctata***-clumps of inflammatory cells to POSTERIOR cornea
Mutton-fat keratic precipitates
Aqueous flare
Glaucoma
Hypopyon** yellow/white/pink floccular sediment in the ANTERIOR chamber
Hyphema*** blood in the ANTERIOR chamber
What are the sequelae of anterior uveitis?
***Synechia (anterior and posterior)
Iris bombe-complete posterior synechia—blocks papillary aqueous flow which inc posterior chamber pressure and the iris bows forward and may adhere anteriorly to the cornea**
Glaucoma
Lens luxation
phthisis bulbi
What is an end stage eye called
Phthisis bulbi
What is a posterior uveitis and what are the lesions and sequele
Inflammation of the CB and choroid
Lesions: exudation, retinal detachment/degeneration, atrophy
Seq: Cataracts, lens luxation, synechiae, retinal seperation, interstitial keratitis

Equine recurrent uveitis
What is another name for Equine recurrent uveitis and what are some causes?
Moon Blindness
Repeated attacks of iridiocycliditis
Lepto and Onchocerca
What is the differences between primary and secondary glaucoma
1: bilateral, inherited, malformation of filtration angle
2: unilateral, acquired, anything that obstructs: a) the flow of aqueous through the pupil or b) its exit through the trabecular meshwork.
