Abstract
Cataracts are a commonly reported problem in both free-ranging and captive California Sea Lions, Zalophus californianus. OccluVet, a new nutritional eye drop solution has been studied in dogs with a marked and beneficial reduction in opacity/density. A study was conducted on four captive California sea lions with bilateral hypermature cataracts. Visible and pupillary reaction changes were observed. This presentation will report on the results of this study.
