Anatomical study of bulbus oculi in Akkaraman Sheep

Abstract

With this investigation, the anatomy of the bulbus oculi was studied in 12 Akkaraman sheep. The bulbus oculi’s specific morphological features of this breed were introduced in the study. In the border of the cornea and scle-ra, the limbus cornea ended at the point where it entered under the sclera. In the eyes examined, the existence of the rima cornealis sclera was not observed. Based on the observations made, the center of the cornea was thinner in com-parison with its periphery. In Akkaraman sheep, it was determined that the cornea did not reach back to the iris and that an angle did not exist between them. Therefore, it is suggested anatomically, to name this an “iridoscleral angle” instead of an “iridocorneal angle”. The diameter of spaces forming the schlemm canal was measured between 40 μm-170 μm. It is hoped that the research findings will provide a source for a sheep model to improve diagnosis and treat-ment methods in eye diseases and vision problems and to aid in future anatomical and clinical research.
