 I am hoping someone can shed some light onto this weird rabbit eye. It is not bothering the rabbit but it appears a membrane complete with blood vessels seems to be growing en masse from the sclera. It is raised about 1 - 2mm thick off the</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>Re: Weird Rabbit Eye Membrane</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/130704?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2015 19:52:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:6a658482-9e6c-4fc7-bfa9-f3035ee6d439</guid><dc:creator>Ian Mostyn</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the replies. It looks attached but I haven&amp;#39;t tried to move it in a conscious rabbit. I suspect that it will continue to grow and I will just have to see what happens. At least I don&amp;#39;t have to worry about it being anything sinister.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers, Ian&lt;/p&gt;

It can be left alone as it isn&amp;#39;t a painful condition but some progress to almost completely cover the cornea. There is no cure but surgery has been reported to provide control - the membrane is cut at various points along its radius and trimmed back with the remaining tissue sutured to the conjunctiva to prevent it growing back inwards.&lt;/p&gt;

I think it is conjunctival ingrowth and can advance to almost cover the cornea. We carefully resected it, and I have read that topical cyclosporine can help to stop regrowth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Weird Rabbit Eye Membrane</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/130621?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2015 17:06:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:df74b374-0d6f-4826-a925-7175a4c389fc</guid><dc:creator>Tom Ward</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Is it attached to the cornea or loose?
