Abstract: Corneal disease is one of the most common ophthalmic diseases in animals. Serious consequences such as vision loss, blindness and even enucleation will be caused with inappropriate diagnosis and treatment, which bring great pain and living obstacles to animals. With development for many years, veterinary ocular surface transplantation has become an effective method to treat corneal injury, save eyeball and even restore vision in animals. Different surgical methods and transplantation materials have great significance and influence on corneal healing, immune rejection, optical properties and ocular morphology. In this paper, the research progress of various ocular surface transplantation techniques and graft materials in animal corneal diseases, including indications, application characteristics and prognosis are reviewed. The purpose of this study is to provide meaningful guidance for the clinical treatment of veterinary ophthalmic.
