Your dog’s eyes are built to have
specialized components that allow them to better visualize motion when compared
to humans.
Dogs are not totally colorblind,
contrary to what popular beliefs hold.
But they are usually nearsighted or myopic. Because dogs do not have the specialized eye
structures that let them focus completely on specific outlines of objects, they
will have trouble distinguishing objects that are over twenty feet away.
Dogs also have narrow peripheral
vision. The degree differs between breeds
and the relative sizes of their heads.
Most dogs cannot see the detail in things that are behind them.
A dog is able to discern movement
from some distance away, but they cannot perceive depth. Dogs can only focus their vision on what is
centrally located on their sights, so when your pet stares at some distant
object, their view of the object’s background is still blurry.
Any sign of an eye problem exhibited by your pet should prompt a visit to your animal hospital Pasadena, MD.
