Eye conditions in horses can progress quickly, making early recognition and treatment especially important. We evaluate and treat a variety of ophthalmic conditions, glaucoma, cataracts, and squamous cell carcinoma.
Signs of potential eye problems include excessive tearing, swelling, squinting, cloudiness, discharge, or sensitivity to light. Any suspected eye abnormality should be evaluated promptly by a veterinarian.
Our practice utilized the iCare TONOVET, allowing us to measure intraocular pressure in the field to assist in evaluating conditions such as glaucoma and uveitis.
