Declarations
:
: This study adheres to the Guidelines for Ethical Research in Veterinary Ophthalmology (GERVO) and is exempt from formal ethics committee approval. All procedures were part of standard clinical care routinely provided by licensed veterinary ophthalmologists, with no experimental interventions beyond those accepted in clinical practice. Treatments were conducted as medically necessary interventions for animals presenting with advanced ocular pathology. Informed written consent was obtained from all pet owners, who explicitly authorized both the therapeutic procedures and the use of anonymized clinical data for scientific dissemination. The exemption from formal ethical review is in accordance with local regulations and the GERVO criteria, and this has been more clearly articulated in the revised manuscript.
