Abstract

Twenty-six cataract eyes and 3 nunclear sclerotic eyes from 17 dogs were examined by ultrasonography (USG). USG of all of the cataractous eyes showed echographic changes, and the most prevalent changeswere hyperechostic in the anterior and posterior cortices and nuclear poles. In 4 of 6 immature cataractous eyes the slit-lamp biomicroscopy of cataract area was accorded with echostic changes. In 2 cases cataractous lens increased in thickness, and one eye diagnosed as aphakia, was hyperechoic in the anterior and posterior capsules aligned closely and parallel to each other without showing the normal convex lens shape. Three cases of nuclear sclerosis showed no abnormality.
