A prospective study of ocular affections was carried out in 80 dogs of all possible breeds presented at Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Pookode, Wayanad, over a period of one month (Dec 2019). A generalization was made on the awareness of owners and veterinarians regarding the observed ocular affections in all such cases. Specific correlation of lesions with age, breed, and sex of the animal was taken into account, keeping in mind the breed, age, and sex predispositions to each condition. The study overlooks ocular affections and suggests the significance of early observed ocular affections in avoiding any potential risk of late observed ocular abnormalities.
