  • Title: Cataract extraction in a fur seal.
    Author: Dutton AG.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1991 Jan 15; 198(2):309-11. PubMed ID: 2004999.
    Abstract:
    Cataracts are common in pinnipeds, but ocular examination and surgery are complicated because of the small pupil, which is difficult to dilate with mydriatics. Vision was evident after a cataract was removed from a fur seal, using a manual technique of irrigation and aspiration. Access to the lens was limited by the constricted pupil, which could not be dilated with tropicamide, phenylephrine, or atropine.
