Dry Eye In Dogs
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is a term used to describe an ocular condition in dogs and other animals
known as dry eye. Keratoconjunctivitis should not be confused with conjunctivitis.
"Dry Eye" occurs when the tear glands do not produce enough aqueous tears resulting in a
a dry, red, inflamed conjunctiva and or cornea.
The conjunctiva is a thin, transparent tissue that
covers the outer surface of the eye and lies between this and the inner surface of the eyelids. It
helps lubricate the eye by producing mucus and tears.
The cornea is a transparent window covering the front part of the eye including the iris and pupil.
The cornea serves several functions such as helping to refract light and helping the eye to focus.
KCS is somewhat common but can lead to problems if left untreated i.e., eye infections, ulcerations of the cornea,
and impaired vision. Symptoms to look for include but are not limited to red or dull eyes, discharge, rubbing at the eyes,
a visible third eyelid, twitching eyes, sensitivity to light, swollen eyelids, squinting and impaired vision. If your pet
displays these symptoms you should visit your veterinarian.
Once diagnosed treatment will often include an attempt to stimulate ocular tear production, reduce pain and swelling, treat any
ulcerations, infections or other conditions related to the issue. Artificial tears, antibiotics,
drugs that stimulate tear production, and pain medication are all potential
meds that may be prescribed by your dog or pet's veterinarian.
