Abstract
The present study undertaken for a period of one year from 1st June, 2008 to 30th
May 2009, on 50 clinical cases of ocular disorders in cattle (Bos indicus) sheltered at
three different locations in the Saurashtra region of the Gujarat state and also among
those cattle presented during two Clinical camps held at Rajkot and Bhanvad. The
diseased cattle included in the study were evaluated for general health status, followed by
a systematic ophthalmic examination to assess their visual acuity, which was further
substantiated by special diagnostic techniques so as to arrive at an appropriate diagnosis.
Ocular disorders causing partial or permanent loss of vision were categorized and
medical and/or surgical management was implemented in 10 selected cases with an
apparently favorable prognosis.
