    Species: Dog
    Condition: Microphthalmia
    Organ System: Nervous/sensory

    A developmental abnormality in which one or both eyeballs are visibly smaller than they normally should be. Various eye structures are also underdeveloped. Dogs with this anomaly are expected to suffer from vision impairment with the development of various eye diseases later in life. The vet will have no problems in diagnosing the anomaly as it is obvious at first sight. Unfortunately, there is no available treatment for this condition; but the quality of life of the affected dogs doesnÂ’t necessarily have to be impaired as they adapt to poor eye vision very well. It is not recommended to breed dogs with microphthalmia.
