    ABSTRACT: The present investigation was carried out to study etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and management of extra ocular diseases in ruminants. Out of a total of 1286 surgical cases, 7.62 per cent (98) of extra ocular affections over a period of 12 months from October 2016 to September 2017 were reported in ruminants. Methodical physical, clinical and ophthalmological and other investigations were carried out to diagnose extra ocular affections. Different extra ocular affections affecting eyelids, conjunctiva, third eyelid cornea and sclera in ruminants were diagnosed by detailed ophthalmic examination by Schirmer tear test, Fluorescein dye test, Rose Bengal test and IOP methods. In the study highest incidence was recorded in cattle (38.77 %) than other ruminants. Gender wise incidence was higher in females i.e 63.27 per cent compared to males 36.73 per cent. As per anatomical location, the highest incidence of extra ocular affections was recorded in Conjunctiva i.e 43.90 per cent. The highest percentage of prevalence for eyelid (18), conjunctiva (43), third eyelid (11), cornea and scleral (26) affections were recorded in eyelid tumors (27.78 per cent), subconjunctival abscess (30.23 per cent), third eyelid tumors (27.27 percent) and corneal opacity (23.07 percent) respectively. The age group of 1 to 5 years had the highest incidence of 52.04 per cent. Highest incidence was recorded in Left eye (OS) i.e 48.98 per cent than right eye (OD). Subconjunctival abscess, Subconjunctival haematoma, Chemosis, Acute conjunctivitis, third eyelid tumours and ocular coenurus cyst were recorded and suitable medical management and surgical procedure were done. To diagnose extra ocular affections in ruminants detailed physical examination, ophthalmic examination were carried out and the cases were treated effectively by meticulous preparation of the patient, medical management and good surgical techniques or both appropriately for successful recovery.
