WORLD SIGHT DAY
What is your veterinarian looking for during an equine eye exam?
An eye exam can tell us much more than whether a horse can see clearly. Your veterinarian may evaluate the eyelids and surrounding tissues, pupil size and response to light, the cornea and lens, the structures at the back of the eye, and overall vision and reflexes. They’re looking for abnormalities such as corneal ulcers, inflammation/uveitis, cataracts, infection, trauma, or changes within the eye. This World Sight Day, we’re celebrating the importance of protecting those big, beautiful eyes.
