Plain-English summary
A 6-month-old Border Collie was brought in for reduced vision and bleeding in the eye (acute hyphema). The veterinarian diagnosed Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), a genetic eye condition common in Collies, using specialized eye exams and ultrasound. This condition can be tricky to diagnose, but the tests helped determine the extent of the damage. While CEA can affect vision, the specific treatment and long-term outcome for this puppy would depend on the severity of the condition.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) is a congenital genetic defect primarily found in Collie dogs but occasionally in other breeds. Its significance lies in its genetic implications for breeding in predisposed breeds. Diagnosing CEA can be challenging and relies on clinical history, epidemiological data, clinical and ophthalmological examinations, and ocular ultrasonography to assess the extent of damage and prognosis. This article presents a case of CEA in a 6-month-old Border Collie dog who exhibited reduced vision and acute hyphema. The condition was diagnosed through direct ophthalmoscopy and ocular ultrasonography
