  • A 13-year-old, castrated male Yorkshire terrier was presented with acute blepharospasm 2 months after phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in the left eye. Menace response was weakly positive in the left eye. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was 98 mmHg in the left eye. On ophthalmic examination using slit lamp biomicroscope, episcleral injection and corneal edema were observed in the left eye. Aqueous flare (1+) and iris bombe with peripheral anterior synechia were also detected in the left eye. In spite of medical treatments, IOP was remained more than 50 mmHg. Synechiolysis and radial iridectomy with irrigation/aspiration of anterior chamber were performed in the left eye. One week after the surgery, tissue plasminogen activator was injected to resolve the blood and fibrin clot in the left anterior chamber. Menace response was recovered completely 1 month after the surgery and IOP was maintained less than 20 mmHg more than 6 months.

  • A 3-month-old, female Persian cat was presented with sclera mass. The mass was detected after cat's squeals during the playing with a dog before 2 days. On ophthalmic examination, a $2{\times}5mm$ dark purple colored raised mass was observed 1 mm behind the limbus in the right eye. Anterior chamber was filled with blood and epithelial defect was detected at 2 o'clock in the right central cornea. After general anesthesia, resection of the protruded iris was performed with iris scissors and bipolar cautery. Ruptured sclera and conjunctiva were closed with simple interrupted and simple continuous suture, respectively. Also, irrigation and aspiration (I/A) of the anterior chamber was performed to remove blood clot with bimanual I/A handpiece in the right eye. Four months after the surgery, the right eye was recovered completely and menace response was positive in spite of the retinal lesions.
