Dog, Eye: Corneal Perforation with Iris ProlapseIris prolapse can occur when the cornea is perforated due to any cause. It is a common sequel to penetrating corneal wounds and/or ruptured corneal ulcers. Common cuases in the dog include perforation by a cats claw, melting corneal ulcers leading to a desmetocoele and then subsequent rupture or in hunting or active dogs by foreign body penetration. With corneal perforation, the aqueous humor rapidly escapes, and a relative vacuum is created in front of the iris, thus leading to iris prolapse.
