==Examination==

Bulging [[Spectacle|spectacles]] are a common presenting complaint in snakes.  The cause may either be a subspectacular infection or impaired tear drainage. On [[Snake Physical Examination|physical examination]], the subspectacular fluid tends to be clear when there is impaired drainage. If the fluid is not clear, an infectious process should be suspected. The vascularity is not usually evident in the normal [[Spectacle|spectacle]]. When there is distension of the [[Spectacle|spectacle]] the vessels may become engorged and easily visualised with an ophthalmoscope.
