Answer:
1) The colour of the prolapsed portion becomes lighter that the remaining iris.
2) The protruding iris tissue forms a mound on the cornea
3) The tissue has a gelaintous mucoid appearance and frequently attracts adhearing strands of conjunctival mucus
4) The pupil is eccentric as a result of traction of the protruding iris tissue
5) The corneal wound is often obscured by the edematous iris tissue. Protrusion of the ciliary body occurs most commonly in horses as a result of scleral rupture posterior to the limbus after blunt trauma.
