    The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of ophthalmic pathologies in dogs through the review of clinical records from the CENOV center in Cuenca. A total of 299 medical records of dogs presenting some types of ophthalmic disorder were evaluated. In addition, the relationship of sex, age, breed, and affected eye with the type of pathology presented according to the affected structures (adnexal structures, anterior segment, posterior segment, and complete ocular globe) was studied. The data were entered into a database in Infostat and the analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. The results obtained revealed that age and affected eye had an effect on the localization of ocular pathology in dogs (p=0.0013 and p=0.0004). Whereas sex and breed showed no relationship. On the other hand, the most frequent ocular pathologies were Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (KCS) (20.74%), Cataracts (13.71%), Corneal Ulcers (13.04%), and Uveitis (6.69%). Finally, it was demonstrated that the anterior segment was the most prevalent region (65,89%), followed by affections of the adnexa (22,41%).
