Plain-English summary
A cat with a serious eye problem was found to have squamous cell carcinoma, a type of cancer, that had spread into the eye. This condition was diagnosed after the affected eye was removed and examined by a vet. Both cats in this case had similar issues, with the cancer affecting the area around the eye and invading deeper structures. Unfortunately, the prognosis for cats with this type of cancer can be serious, and treatment often involves surgery to remove the affected eye.

Abstract
Unilateral corneolimbal squamous cell carcinoma associated with intraocular invasion is described in two unrelated cats. The diagnosis was made on histopathological examination of the enucleated globes in both cases. Findings revealed squamous cell carcinoma infiltrating the limbus, adjacent cornea, and sclera with associated intraocular invasion at the level of the limbus.
