Swollen eye syndrome was observed in 228 turtles kept under unhygienic conditions and on commercial diet without supplementation of greens. Treatment with parenteral Enrofloxacin and Vitamin-A and Ophthalmic drops containing Gentamicin and Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose was far superior than the local application of ophthalmic drops only. Vitamin-A deficiency seemed a major causative for ‘Swollen eye syndrome in turtles’.
