Snakes do not have eyelids but they have a transparent layer,\u00a0called a spectacle that covers and protects the cornea (which is the transparent windshield of the\u00a0eye). Sometimes the spectacle does not fall when the animal sheds (ecdysis cycles) and there is an\u00a0accumulation of retained dry tissue over the cornea. It is possible to remove them cautiously.\u00a0Formation of an abscess between the cornea and the spectacle can also be observed (the\u00a0spectacle loses its transparency and becomes yellowish). The origin of this abscess can be traumatic\u00a0or an ascending infection coming from the lachrymal ducts. These abscesses can be treated by\u00a0drainage and the use of antibiotics but they can be difficult to treat.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #24bbe2;\">\u2022\u00a0In birds<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Conjunctivitis is very frequent in birds: the origin can be traumatic (from scratching), infectious\u00a0(bacteria, viruses), parasitic (Thelazia), and nutritional (deficiency in vitamin A).
