Abstract :Ophthalmic ultrasonography is considered a useful modern tool to quantify the ocular dimensions. The main aim of this study was to give information about the ultrasonographic measurements of the normal hybrid camel eye. Besides, to calculate some indices of the camel eye and discuss them in comparison with the ocular measurements of other animals reported previously. Fourteen formalin-preserved eyeballs were subjected to corneal ocular ultrasonographic examination in horizontal imaging plane. The ultrasonographic results of the eyeballs showed 95% confidence intervals for measurements as Cornel length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CL); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.56-1.87);, anterior chamber depth insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ACD); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2.33-4.27);, lens thickness insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LT); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(6.81-10.00);, vitreous chamber depth insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(VCD); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(23.01-24.44);, axial length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AL); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(35.13-38.60);, Optical axis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OA); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(34.89-37.24);. Indices also showed that 95% confidence interval ranges were as CL/AL insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.04-0.05);, ACD/AL insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.06-0.11);, LT/AL insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.19-0.26);, VCD/AL insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.62-0.66); and OA/AL insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.96-1.00);. This knowledge of the normal ocular dimensions will especially be helpful in the diagnosis of the deviation from normal eye and progression towards any ocular problem in the hybrid camel.
