Feline corneal sequestrum

Feline corneal sequestrum (also known as feline corneal necrosis)[1] is the development of dark areas of dead tissue in the cornea of domestic cats.[2][3][4] This disease is painful to the cat, although it develops slowly over a longer period of time. Cats will usually demonstrate teary eye(s), squinting or closing of the eye(s), and covering of the third eyelid.
