Abstract
The present study was carried out among the dogs presented to Veterinary
College Hospital, KVAFSU, Hebbal, Bangalore over a period of one year. A total of
13,200 cases were presented of which the number of dogs with cataract were 28 (0.21%),
with highest percentage in Cocker Spaniel (25.00 %), followed by six in Pomeranian
(21.43 %), four in Golden Retriever (14.29 %), three cases each in Labrador Retrievers,
German Spitz and Non-descript (10.72 %) and two in German Shepherds (7.15%).
Highest occurrence seen in the dogs aged 9-11 years range and high in male (53.60%)
dogs. Pre and post-surgical evaluation of physiological, haematobiochemical parameters,
visual function tests and clinical examination of eye were done. Accordingly, eighteen
dogs were randomly selected and divided into three groups, Group A, B and C and were
subjected for phacoemulsification followed with implantation of Rigid PMMA, Foldable
hydrophilic acrylic and Foldable hydrophobic acrylic intra ocular lens respectively. The
present study showed that there were no significant changes in physiological,
hematological and biochemical parameters before and after the surgery. The techniques
followed for the three groups were found to be adequate for restoring the vision.
Comparatively, there was a lesser post-operative complications, better vision
improvement and a higher owners response in Group C followed with B and A. In
conclusion, the phacoemulsification followed with hydrophobic IOL implantation in
Group C was proved to be superior in restoring vision with minimal post-operative
complications
