- Abstract
In the study conducted in an organized dromedary camel farm, an overall prevalence of ocular affections was recorded as 19.6 percent. Corneal injury/ulceration appeared as the most common problem followed by acute conjunctivitis, unclassified eye ball problem, blepharitis, chronic conjunctivitis and keratitis. Female animals appeared more susceptible for ocular problems. Likewise, highest prevalence was recorded in animals, falling in the age group 10 years and above, followed by 5 years to 10 years and less than 5 years. Hence, incidence of ocular problems appeared to increase with age of the animal.
