Horse A – Bilateral corneal opacity – blind in the right but she could see the flash in the left eye
This cornea has permanent damage with scar tissue and blood vessels coming from the sclera (the white outer part of the eyeball) onto the cornea. There are cataract changes (opacities) in the lens seen as bright spots through the pupil giving this horse very limited vision.
This eye had a scratch which 4 days later became an ulcer according to his owner. Subsequently a fungal infection occurred requiring an keratectomy (surgery to remove part of the cornea). This is 6 months later.
