===Iris Cysts===
These appear as '''spherical pigmented bodies around the pupil edge'''. They are of no significance unless large or within the pupil, or may interfere with vision.
===Iris Tumours===
These are rare.
===Hyphema===
'''Trauma''' is the usual cause of blood in the anterior chamber and it will be reabsorbed if there is no ongoing haemorrhage and the animal is kept quiet. <u>[[NSAIDs]] should be avoided.</u> If anterior [[Donkey - Uveitis|uveitis]] is suspected then topical [[Steroids|steroids]] can be used.
