Abstract
An adult bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) was presented with anis ocoria and posterior synechiae in the left eye. Lack of inflammatory r eaction at the site suggested the process was static. Electroretinogra phic studies and menace response indicated vision in the affected eye. Synechial breakdown by pharmacologic pupillary dilatation was unsucce ssful. Surgical resection of the synechiae resulted in improved pupill ary dilatation.
