Corneal Opacity in Livestock.

Disease Description
|
Old animals develop an opacity of the lens of their eyes and suffer impairment of vision. The cornea of the eyes too thicken and harden. Patches of small, white dots appear over the pupil. The strain in the optical muscles due to these causes mucus to be collected in the eyes. Gradually, the animal may become totally blind.
