| |
| − |
| |
| − | Donkeys are less prone to trauma than horses due to their stoical nature and leisure uses, but their eyes are equally prominent and the cornea is usually involved.

| − | ==Clinical Signs==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The stages of damage progress from '''endothelial damage''' to [[Uveitis - Donkey|'''anterior uveitis''']], [[Lens Luxation - Donkey|'''lens luxation''']] and '''retinal detachment'''.
| |

| |
| − | Presenting signs are:
| |
| − | * Photophobia
| |
| − | * Blepharospasm
| |
| − | * Epiphora
| |
| − | * Corneal oedema
| |
| − | * Possible iris prolapse

| |
| − | ==Diagnosis==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | These signs are seen with many ocular diseases, so history and thorough examination is vital as treatment should be prompt.

| |
| − | ==Treatment==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A ruptured globe requires '''surgical intervention''' and a lens luxation usually results in '''enucleation''' due to secondary [[Glaucoma - Donkey|glaucoma]]. Aggressive '''[[NSAIDs|NSAID]] therapy and '''atropine''' are needed for the associated anterior [[Uveitis - Donkey|uveitis]].
