Line in my cat's eye, related to existing condition or something else?

Thanks for your question. I'm glad you're reaching out about your cat's eye. A visible line in a cat's eye could be due to several factors. It's possible this line is related to an existing condition like uveitis or a corneal scar from a previous injury. It might also be something new, such as a cataract or the start of a corneal ulcer, which can sometimes occur due to irritation or trauma.



At home, you can monitor your cat for any changes. Look for signs like redness, excessive tearing, squinting, or any discharge from the eye. Make sure your kitty isn’t pawing at the eye, as this could indicate discomfort, which might make the condition worse.



If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to reach out to a vet as it could be a sign of infection or more serious issues that need medical attention. In this case, prompt veterinary advice is crucial because eye conditions can worsen quickly without intervention.



I recommend booking a video consult with a Dial A Vet professional. This way, a vet can see the issue more clearly and guide you on the next best steps to ensure your cat's eyes stay healthy and comfortable.
