Abstract
The eyes of apparently healthy 650 cattle and 1842 buffaloes which inc luded those sacrificed for human consumption as well as those necropsi ed were screened. The retinae and optic nerves of 56 cattle and 166 bu ffaloes having eye lesions were subjected to histopathological examina tion. The lesions encountered in the retina included retinal congestio n, retinal haemorrhages, retinitis and retinal degeneration. Optic neu ritis and optic nerve degeneration were the main lesions recorded in t he optic nerves.
