Obtaining information about the eye arterial supply in the buffalo can be a criterion for ocular diseases diagnosis and give a morphological basis for even more researches on the related clinical surgery of this animal. The aim of the present study was to describe the course and branches of the arteries supplying the eye in the adult river buffalo (). In this study, the heads of eight buffaloes were prepared from the public slaughterhouse and dissected to study the eye arterial supply. This research results showed that the eye blood supply in the buffalo originates from the external ophthalmic, internal ophthalmic, superficial temporal and malar arteries. The external ophthalmic artery was given rise to branches to take part in the ophthalmic rete mirabile formation and also given off lacrimal, external ethmoidal, supraorbital and ciliary arteries as well as muscular branches to supply the eye ball and extra-ocular muscles. The internal ophthalmic artery was one of the sources of lateral posterior long ciliary artery. The superficial temporal artery was detached off some branches to supply the lateral angle of inferior and superior eyelids as well as lacrimal branch to supply lacrimal gland. The malar artery was originated from the infra-orbital artery and its branches were supplied the medial angle of inferior, superior and third eyelids. There were no obvious differences between buffalo and yak regarding arteries supplying the eyes. However, there were minor differences between buffalo and oxen, sheep and goat and there were obvious differences between buffalo and camel and giraffe.
获取水牛眼部动脉供应的信息可为眼部疾病诊断提供标准，并为该动物相关临床手术的更多研究提供形态学依据。本研究的目的是描述成年河水牛眼部供血动脉的走行和分支。在本研究中，从公共屠宰场获取八头水牛的头部并进行解剖，以研究眼部动脉供应。该研究结果表明，水牛的眼部血液供应源自眼外动脉、眼内动脉、颞浅动脉和颧动脉。眼外动脉发出分支参与眼动脉网的形成，还发出泪腺动脉、筛前动脉、眶上动脉和睫状动脉以及肌肉分支，为眼球和眼外肌供血。眼内动脉是外侧后长睫状动脉的来源之一。颞浅动脉分出一些分支供应下眼睑和上眼睑的外侧角以及供应泪腺的泪腺分支。颧动脉起源于眶下动脉，其分支供应下眼睑、上眼睑和第三眼睑的内侧角。在供应眼睛的动脉方面，水牛和牦牛之间没有明显差异。然而，水牛与牛、绵羊和山羊之间存在细微差异，水牛与骆驼和长颈鹿之间存在明显差异。
