Abstract

Vision is a highly complex phenomenon in which light emanating from objects in the environment is captured by the eye and focused onto the retinal photoreceptors. The lens accounts for 30-35% of the total refractive power of eye. Of all ocular disorders in general and lenticular conditions in particular, opacity of eye lens 'the cataract', is the most common surgical affection and the major cause of blindness in dogs (Gwin and Gelatt,1981). The incidence of lens affections in dogs is as high as 34% (Sale et al., 2013). Present study was conducted to get an idea of incidence of cataract cases in Palampur, Himachal Pradesh.
