Ophthalmology

Horse eyes are complex, delicate structures. Black Diamond offers comprehensive diagnostics and treatment to ensure ocular diseases or conditions are diagnosed promptly for treatment interventions to be implemented.

A detailed ophthalmic examination will look at the eyelids, conjunctiva, cornea, anterior camber, iris, lens, vitreous and fundus. Additional diagnostics such as fluorescein stain, ultrasound and tonometry can be applied to collect more information on the disease process affecting the horse.

Examples of commonly encountered ocular conditions in horses include:

• Corneal Ulcers

• Cataracts

• Equine Recurrent Uveitis “Moon Blindness”

• Immune Mediated Keratitis

• Uveal Cysts

• Glaucoma

We are proud to have partnered with Dr. Heather Kaese DVM, MS, DACVIM, DACVO of The Veterinary Referral Center of Central Oregon (VRCCO). She is a board certified veterinary ophthalmologist who is now accepting Equine appointments through Black Diamond Equine. Please call our office to book a consult.
