My cat has a blue circle in its pupil near the retina. Is it glaucoma?

It looks like Memo could have changes to the iris due to anterior uveitis or inflammation in the eye. This can cause the pupil to become smaller and the iris to change colors. It’s also possible that Memo has a growth on this eye. I would recommend seeing your veterinarian so they can examine Memo’s eye in person. They may want to check his eye pressure.

What a beautiful girl! It does look like her left eye and pupil are larger than the right. There could be a few reasons for this including increased pressure (glaucoma) or a mass behind the eye that pushes it forward and makes it appear larger. I would strongly recommend an examination by a veterinary ophthalmologist to fully evaluate her eye and her vision to see what can be done for her.

You need to take your cat to the vet asap as an enlarged eyeball is an emergency as it could be indicative of my a life threatening condition glaucoma. Otherwise it could be an infection called uveitis.

This looks like it could be blood in the anterior chamber of the eye. This could occur secondary to an infection or trauma. I would recommend having your vet examine Baba to determine what might be going on.

This sounds like a corneal edema. This can be caused by intraocular disease, such as glaucoma or uveiti. It may also indicate breed-related endothelial dystrophy or age-related endothelial degeneration, which would be genetic defects.

That new pigment around Butter’s pupil is concerning for inflammation of the iris or melanoma. Cats can get uveitis (which is basically inflammation of the internal eye structures) for many different reasons. Hyperthyroidism can also sometimes change the pigment. Melanoma is a cancer that can affect the eye of a cat at any age. I recommend to make an appointment with your veterinarian. That will at least get you started on the right path. Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious! Please post again with any further questions.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your cat. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian. He seems to have an opacity in his eye. This can be on the cornea (surface of his eye) or on the lens. He could have a scratch across his eye or even a scar. If the problem is on his lens, then a cataract is a possibility. His veterinarian will examine his eye with a special instrument called an ophthalmic scope. Some tests may be recommended as well. I hope this information helps!
