It would be very, very hard to injure the eye and end up with geographic retinal dysplasia. As I understand it, retinal dysplasia is where the parts of the retina that "see" are missing from small areas of the retina itself. There are often 'bald' spots on the retina that while not affecting the general health of the puppy, may create small blind spots. Also, small 'bubbled' areas where the retina is lifted up from it's base and bubbled is another type of dysplasia. Myra
