Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology is the study of diseases of the eye. Horses have the largest eye of any land mammal and is one feature admired by most horse lovers. Many diseases can affect the equine eye, however, leading to loss of vision to loss of the eye completely. 

Understanding how infectious, inflammatory and genetic processes lead to eye disorders will help improve diagnosis, treatment and ultimately prevention.
