The purpose of this study was to describe the ultrasonographic appearance and to measure different intraocular echo-biometric indices in normal adult horses, cattle and buffaloes. B-mode transcorneal ultrasonographic scanning of left and right eyes of six adult healthy animals of each species viz. horse, cattle and buffalo were performed using a high end ultrasound machine with 2.5–7.5 MHz microconvex transducer. Depth of scanning was set at 5–9 cm with suitable gain. Qualitative echo-biometric findings of the eyes were described and measurements of the intraocular structures were obtained, which included aqueous chamber depth (ACD), lens depth (LDe), lens diameter (LDi), vitreous depth (VD), sclero-retinal rim thickness (SRT), and globe axial length (GAL). Normal ultrasonographic appearance and reference values of these intraocular parameters were recorded. On the basis of the present study it was concluded that none of the six echo-biometric indices differ significantly between the left and right eyes of any of the individual species.
