The topography of the anterior surface of the cat's cornea
Abstract:
The topography of the cornea in nine unanaesthetised domestic cats was studied by the computer analysis of photokeratographs obtained using a Wessley Jessen P.E.K. 2000 photokeratoscope . Mean figures were obtained for: Central corneal radius in the steeper (9.06 mm) and flatter (9.20 mm) corneal meridians. Corneal astigmatism (0. 61D ). Corneal shape factor in the steeper (0.33) and flatter (0.31) corneal meridians and the diameter of the corneal cap in the vertical (6.23 mm) and horizontal (7.08 mm) meridians. The results are discussed and compared with previous such estimates for corneal topography. Dimensions for an hydrophilic contact lens suitable for general therapeutic or research use in the cat are suggested.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
