Ocular consequences of blunt trauma in two species of nocturnal raptors (<i>Athene noctua</i>and<i>Otus scops</i>)

Abstract

Ocular lesions are common in LO and SO injured by blunt trauma. Electroretinography is a valuable diagnostic tool to assess the severity of retinal dysfunction secondary to blunt trauma and to determine the response to medical treatment. A complete ophthalmic examination is a determining factor in the early management of trauma in these species.
