Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Summary

Uveitis in horses is less common in the UK but frequently affects Warmbloods and Appaloosas. Recurrent equine uveitis cases are more likely to impact both eyes.

Equine Internal Medicine

Background:

Uveitis characterization in UK horses is limited.
This study addresses the lack of data on equine uveitis in the UK.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe acute and recurrent equine uveitis cases managed at a UK referral hospital.
To compare the signalment of horses with uveitis to the general equine hospital population.

Main Methods:

Retrospective review of medical records (2008-2018) at the University of Liverpool Equine Hospital.
Extraction of clinical details for horses diagnosed with uveitis.

Main Results:

Seventy horses presented with uveitis (33 acute, 37 recurrent); 16 were bilateral.
Warmbloods and Appaloosas were over-represented (P<0.001).
30% of horses had surgery; 20% underwent enucleation.

Conclusions:

Equine uveitis, though relatively uncommon in the UK, can affect young horses.
Warmbloods and Appaloosas show a higher frequency of uveitis.
Recurrent uveitis cases have a greater likelihood of bilateral ocular involvement.
