The nonsurgical group was further subdivided based on whether the decision not to pursue surgery was elected by owners, or based on ophthalmologist's advice. Inclusion criteria included 6\u00a0months of follow\u2010up. Success in the nonsurgical group was defined as a comfortable eye with no potentially painful complications, and success in the surgical group additionally required vision. Time\u2010to\u2010failure (complications) was assessed with Cox proportional hazards models.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 72 eyes (41 dogs) were included in the nonsurgical group, and 126 eyes (67 dogs) were surgically treated. There was no difference in gender or age; however, the surgical group had significantly more diabetic eyes (56.3% vs 15.3%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001) and patient eyes with longer follow\u2010up times (median 37.6\u00a0months vs 22.1\u00a0months; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001) than the nonsurgical group. There was no statistically significant difference in complication rates between the nonsurgical group (15\/72 [20.8%]) and the surgical group (23\/126 [18.3%]; HR: 2.22 [0.97, 5.0]; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.060). However, the complication rate in the ophthalmologist\u2010led nonsurgical group was significantly greater than in the owner\u2010led nonsurgical group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.019)
