A thorough understanding of normal ophthalmic anatomy is an integral part of the foundational knowledge for diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmic diseases as the majority of the ocular tissues can be visualized directly. The veterinarian can examine eyes from a wide variety of animal species, and fortunately the eye has largely retained the same basic components, but important and clinically relevant differences do exist. This chapter will primarily present the ophthalmic anatomy of dogs, cats, horses, livestock species, and occasional birds, and relates information important to the clinician. More detailed anatomical information is available in the standard veterinary and comparative anatomy texts.
