These presentations provide graphic rich illustrations of the adnexa - structures and tissues around the eye - and highlight the variability across breeds, based on, e.g. anatomy and conformation and physical characteristics of the breed / dog. The authors have defined 'Critical Control Points', visible to essentially any observer, that define the stage at which the condition of the adnexa becomes or creates a health or welfare concern. It should be born in mind that there are many health concerns related to the internal/functional structures of the eye that are not covered by this material.

excerpt...
"The term Critical Control Point, CCP, is suggested to describe an outer limit that must not be exceeded.
The line should be drawn at physiognomies that increase the risk of ocular illness."
