In a retrospective study, records of 931 raptors admitted to the Avian Clinic at the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine and to the Owl Rehabilitation Research Foundation were evaluated to determine the prevalence, cause, and distribution of ocular lesions. Some form of ocular lesion was identified in 135 (14.5%) birds. Of these, 90% were the result of physical injury. Collisions accounted for 33% of ocular lesions; gunshot wounds accounted for 11%. Unilateral lesions were more common than bilateral lesions, with the anterior segment being most frequently involved. Hyphema was the most common clinical finding. In a prospective study involving raptors admitted to the Avian Clinic from 1980-1982, it was found that 17 of 61 birds (28%) had some form of ocular lesion. The higher prevalence in this study was attributed to a lower proportion of juvenile cases and to increased detection of subtle lesions, especially those involving the posterior segment.
在一项回顾性研究中，对纽约州兽医学院鸟类诊所和猫头鹰康复研究基金会收治的931只猛禽的记录进行了评估，以确定眼部病变的患病率、病因和分布情况。在135只（14.5%）鸟类中发现了某种形式的眼部病变。其中，90%是身体受伤所致。碰撞占眼部病变的33%；枪伤占11%。单侧病变比双侧病变更常见，前段受累最为频繁。前房积血是最常见的临床发现。在一项对1980 - 1982年入住鸟类诊所的猛禽进行的前瞻性研究中，发现61只鸟中有17只（28%）有某种形式的眼部病变。该研究中较高的患病率归因于幼鸟病例比例较低以及对细微病变（尤其是涉及后段的病变）的检测增加。
