We are glad to share a vet case study captured by QuikVue eye imaging adaptor from Dr. Allison Fuchs.

1 week later. This cat was referred last week for what was suspected to be a deep ulcer. She had a descemetocele, which is the deepest possible corneal ulcer before we end up inside the eye! The ulcerated cornea was infected and very malacic (melty), and there was a high risk of corneal rupture. We discussed the risks and benefits of medical therapy versus surgery, and the clients opted to have surgery to graft the cornea and help support healing. One week later, her graft is incorporating nicely and while it looks super red and ugly, that’s normal and tells us the graft is healthy! In another couple of weeks things will start to scar down and look less inflamed, and the conjunctival graft will become less and less obvious over time.
