The owner reported that he had black spots in both eyes which floated around. She was concerned that they seemed to be getting bigger and didn&amp;#39;t want them to affect his vision.

&lt;p&gt;Free floating black spheres are not going to be much else apart from iris cysts. They can be treated by laser ablation or aspiration. However, I only do this when there are enough in the eye to be causing a visual disturbance i.e. very rarely. They arise from the posterior aspect of the iris/ciliary body interface and settle out like a snow globe. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Occasionally cyst formation can occur in retrievers associated with a glaucoma but the irises tend to be generally heavily pigmentated and the eye appears to be uveitic. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: EYE Question</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/109675?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:54:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:c6323354-0839-4bf4-b9a2-caed11ec6a50</guid><dc:creator>Robin Grimmer</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;They sound like uveal cysts, but no doubt an eye person with elaborate!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
