Degenerations (atrophies) of the retina are divided into primary (hereditary) and secondary forms including glaucomatous retinopathy of retinal atrophy. The pathogenesis of inflammation of the retina is considered. This condition generally appears in association with inflammation of the choroid (chorioretinitis), but can also occur as an isolated inflammatory condition during infectious disease (distemper). The functional conditions for retinal detachment, its rhegmatogenous and nonrhegmatogenous types, as well as the consequences of retinal detachment are described. Comparison of the pathology of retinal tumors shows that retinoblastoma is not known in animals. However, neuroepithelial tumors like the so-called acquired adenoma and adenocarcinoma of the mature ciliary epithelium as well as the rare congenital tumors of the embryonic neuroepithelium i.e. the medulloepithelioma and the ganglioneuroma are seen in animals. Finally, the rare but not unusual parasitic retinopathies are mentioned.
视网膜变性（萎缩）分为原发性（遗传性）和继发性，包括视网膜萎缩性青光眼性视网膜病变。文中探讨了视网膜炎症的发病机制。这种情况通常与脉络膜炎症（脉络膜视网膜炎）相关出现，但也可能在传染病（犬瘟热）期间作为一种孤立的炎症状态发生。文中描述了视网膜脱离的功能状态、其孔源性和非孔源性类型以及视网膜脱离的后果。视网膜肿瘤病理学的比较表明，动物中不存在视网膜母细胞瘤。然而，动物中可见神经上皮肿瘤，如所谓的成熟睫状体上皮获得性腺瘤和腺癌，以及胚胎神经上皮罕见的先天性肿瘤，即髓上皮瘤和神经节神经瘤。最后，文中提到了罕见但并非不常见的寄生虫性视网膜病变。
