Prolapse of the tear gland of the third eyelid in animals
Close-up of a cherry eye
Cherry eye is a disorder of the nictitating membrane (NM), also called the third eyelid, present in the eyes of dogs and cats.[1] Cherry eye is most often seen in young dogs under the age of two.[2] Common misnomers include adenitis, hyperplasia, adenoma of the gland of the third eyelid; however, cherry eye is not caused by hyperplasia, neoplasia, or primary inflammation.[3] In many species, the third eyelid plays an essential role in vision by supplying oxygen and nutrients to the eye via tear production.[4] Normally, the gland can turn inside-out without detachment.[3] Cherry eye results from a defect in the retinaculum which is responsible for anchoring the gland to the periorbita. This defect causes the gland to prolapse and protrude from the eye as a red fleshy mass.[3] Problems arise as sensitive tissue dries out and is subjected to external trauma[3] Exposure of the tissue often results in secondary inflammation, swelling, or infection.[3] If left untreated, this condition can lead to dry eye syndrome and other complications.[4]
