The aim of the study was to examine the distribution of the diseases that cause brachycephalic ocular syndrome,in dogs brought to the Near East University Animal Hospital with various eye complaints between 2016 and 2020.Complementary techniques were performed, including Schirmer’s tear test, tonometry, ocular ultrasonography and binocular ophthalmoscopy. Operative treatment was applied in cases that did not respond to the medical treatment and in emergencies or when the treatment was deemed operative. The parameters examined included the sex, age and breed of the animals, clinical signs and ocular disorders, and treatment protocols. The study population consisted of 87 brachycephalic dogs of different breeds, where 50 were male and 37 were female, and the age range was 0.16-12 years old (mean 5.05 years). In this study, the most common eye disorder identified was 48.3% corneal lesions. In terms of eyelid lesions, nasal fold trichiasis was the most common problem with 54.5%. Many of the diseases were identified in chronic or advanced stage. Nevertheless, the treatment success was high. As a result the data of the study showed that brachycephalic dog owners should be informed about breed diseases and veterinarians should first evaluate brachycephalic eye patients in terms of brachycephalic ocular syndrome.
