Plain-English summary
A domestic cat with corneal sequestration developed a dark, opaque patch on its eye, causing signs of pain and discomfort. This condition is unique to cats and can lead to chronic issues if not treated. Treatment options typically include surgical removal of the affected cornea or medications to manage pain and inflammation. With appropriate care, many cats can recover and have improved comfort and vision.
