Effect of eyelid manipulation and manual jugular compression on intraocular pressure measurement in dogs.

Objective: To determine the effect of eyelid manipulation and manual jugular compression on intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement in clinically normal dogs.

Design: Randomized clinical trial.

Animals: 30 dogs (57 eyes) without diseases or medications that affect IOP.

Postoperative complications and visual outcomes of phacoemulsification in 103 dogs (179 eyes): 2006-2008.

Objective: To describe the postoperative complications and visual outcome after phacoemulsification in dogs and identify risk factors for complications.

Animals Studied: One hundred and three dogs (179 eyes) that had phacoemulsification with or without intraocular lens (IOL) placement including foldable acrylic IOLs between March 2006 and March 2008 at Purdue University Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

Procedure: Medical records were reviewed and occurrence and dates of postoperative complications were tabulated.
