Özet

A 3-year-old Lutino Cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) of unknown sex was referred to the

clinics of our faculty for ocular examination due to lack of the upper and lower eyelids of

the right eye since birth has been reported in this study. After anamnesis and detailed ocular

examination (ocular ultrasound), congenital cryptophthalmos was diagnosed and the right

palpebral fissure of the bird was corrected by a successful surgical procedure. This report

provides the clinical features and surgical management of the variant of cryptophthalmos in

birds.
