Abstract
The eyes of 51 camels were examined by clinically and ultrasonographically using direct corneal contact technique. Trauma-related problems were the most common eye troubles seen among camels. Anterior segment affections constituted 72.5% of all examined cases. This included keratitis with or without involvement of the iris and ciliary body in the form of iridocyclitis (31%). Penetrating corneal wounds were 23%. Lesser observations were recorded involving cataract (16%) and glaucoma (2%). Posterior segment affections constituted 27.5% and included intraocular tumour (2%), retinal detachment (6%) and blindness (20%).
