Ophthalmology

Eye problems can cause a substantial amount of pain in your horse and can worsen very quickly. Prompt evaluation is critical to help determine the underlying problem, beginning with a thorough ophthalmic examination. If deemed appropriate, the intraocular pressures may be measured (via tonopen) to evaluate for glaucoma. Ocular ultrasound may be recommended to view structures in back of or behind the eye. Based on findings, our veterinarians will customize a treatment plan for your horse.

Eye problems in horses can lead to considerable pain and, if left untreated, may escalate rapidly. Timely evaluation is crucial in determining the underlying issues and initiating effective treatment. Our dedicated team at Blue Water Equine Hospital is equipped to address a spectrum of ocular conditions through thorough ophthalmic examinations.

Our veterinarians conduct detailed ophthalmic examinations to assess the overall health of your horse’s eyes. This involves a careful evaluation of the structures, checking for signs of inflammation, injury, or other abnormalities.

Advanced Diagnostics:
In cases where further evaluation is needed, we may employ advanced diagnostic tools. Intraocular pressures can be measured using a tonopen to assess for conditions such as glaucoma. Ocular ultrasound may also be recommended to visualize structures behind the eye, providing a more in-depth understanding of the ocular health.

Based on the findings from the examination and diagnostics, our experienced veterinarians will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your horse’s specific needs. This may include medications, surgical intervention, or other therapeutic measures designed to address the identified issues.
