The amphibian eye.

Keller CB , Shilton CM .


???displayArticle.abstract???
Knowledge of the anatomy of the amphibian eye is important to differentiate normal from abnormal. Special features of the amphibian eye mark the transition from aquatic to terrestrial life. The most often reported spontaneous ocular disease in the anurans (frogs and toads) is lipid keratopathy. An experimental study showed that high dietary cholesterol played a significant role in the development of corneal lipid infiltration. Other diseases, like panophthalmitis, occur with bacterial septicemia.
