Topic:Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology in horses encompasses the study and treatment of eye disorders and diseases affecting equine species. Equine ophthalmic conditions can range from conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers to more complex issues such as uveitis and cataracts. These conditions can impact a horse's vision and overall well-being. Diagnostic techniques in equine ophthalmology include visual examinations, fluorescein staining, and advanced imaging methods like ultrasonography. Treatment approaches vary depending on the specific condition and may involve medication, surgical intervention, or supportive care. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the anatomy, pathology, diagnostics, and treatment modalities related to equine ophthalmology.

Lamellar corneal transplantation in the horse.

The Veterinary record July 17, 1976 Volume 99, Issue 3 46-49 doi: 10.1136/vr.99.3.46

Hekmati P, Schels H.Surgical correction of corneal opacities in horses has rarely been documented in detail and is still reported to be in the experimental stage. For this reason, studies of lamellar keratoplasty were conducted on the equine eye using a modified trephine with an adjustable inside quard for grafting of identical discs from the donor and the recipient cornea. Fourteen transplantations, seven with homografts and seven with heterografts, 15 and 9 mm in diameter, were performed. Sharp-edged, vertical, and regular outlined wound margins of the graft and host are essential for good adaptation and healin...

Cattabiani F, Cabassi E, Allodi C, Gianelli F.The AA. report the results of taxonomic research conducted on the conjunctival sac of 59 horses for identification of the present bacterial flora. In the controlled animals, it was observed, at the level of the considered niche, a community constituted of normal bacterial populations, but not autochtonous in the significance they attributed from DUBOS et al., relative to the characterization of the indigenous microbiota of the intestine. The isolated normal bacterial flora seems to be constituted of: Micrococcus (subgroup 6 of Baird-Parker, M. luteus, Micrococcus spp.) isolated in 49,15% of th...

Ramadan RO.The clinical features and pathology of an ocular melanoma in a young born-grey mare are described. The tumour, possibly arising on the cornea, invaded the eye and extra-orbital muscles. Histologically; it consisted predominantly of spindle-shaped and polygonal cells containing melanin.

Saunders LZ, Bistner SI, Rubin LF.An asymptomatic, ophthalmoscopically visible proliferation affected the optic disc and nerve of two aged horses. The lesion consisted of an accumulation of foamy cells, histologically akin to fat cells, which contained an unidentified lipid-like material. The affected area and its environs were permeated by tortuous, thickened blood vessels with heavy deposits of collagen in their walls. The neuropathy is considered to be a storage disease, and although the product stored is unidentified, the lesion is similar to that of human xanthelasma. The neuropathy seems distinct from the exudative optic...
