Abstract :Ophthalmic ultrasonography is considered a useful modern tool to quantify the ocular dimensions. The main aim of this study was to give information about the ultrasonographic measurements of the normal hybrid camel eye. Besides, to calculate some indices of the camel eye and discuss them in comparison with the ocular measurements of other animals reported previously. Fourteen formalin-preserved eyeballs were subjected to corneal ocular ultrasonographic examination in horizontal imaging plane. The ultrasonographic results of the eyeballs showed 95% confidence intervals for measurements as Cornel length (CL) (1.56-1.87), anterior chamber depth (ACD) (2.33-4.27), lens thickness (LT) (6.81-10.00), vitreous chamber depth (VCD) (23.01-24.44), axial length (AL) (35.13-38.60), Optical axis (OA) (34.89-37.24). Indices also showed that 95% confidence interval ranges were as CL/AL (0.04-0.05), ACD/AL (0.06-0.11), LT/AL (0.19-0.26), VCD/AL (0.62-0.66) and OA/AL (0.96-1.00). This knowledge of the normal ocular dimensions will especially be helpful in the diagnosis of the deviation from normal eye and progression towards any ocular problem in the hybrid camel.Keywords : camel, cortical index, ophthalmology, eyeball
