    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Ophthalmology
    • Ophthalmic Pathology

    Background:

    • Ocular masses in young cattle can affect vision and health.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A 10-mm circumscribed nodule containing hair was observed on the ventral cornea, limbus, and conjunctiva of a 6-month-old Hereford calf's right eye.

    Findings:

    • Superficial keratectomy successfully removed the ocular mass.
    • Suturing the conjunctival wound to the limbus facilitated healing.
    • Post-operative treatment with chloramphenicol ophthalmic ointment was administered.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the successful surgical management of a benign ocular mass in a calf.
    • Prompt veterinary intervention can lead to complete recovery and preserve ocular function.
