Computed Tomographic Assessment of Normal Ocular Dimensions and Densities in Cadaveric Horses (Equus ferus caballus)

This study aimed to describe the computed tomographic (CT) dimensions and contrast attenuation characteristics of the eye in cross-breed horses. CT images from 20 horses without ocular abnormalities were analyzed to assess ocular measurements and attenuation values. The incorporation of cranial measurements, such as nasal-occipital length and zygomatic width, provided a novel insight into the anatomical relationship between the skull and intraocular structures. While most correlations between cranial and ocular parameters were weak, statistically significant associations—particularly involving lens dimensions and anterior chamber measurements—suggest that skull morphology may exert a subtle influence on ocular anatomy.
