Horse C - 1 yr ago this 11 yr old TB had a corneal ulcer that was treated once then turned out in a field with a fly mask that became embedded in the eye when he rubbed his eye.
Horse D - Hemorrhage of the vessels on the sclera of the eye. This is common during fly season and is not a problem for the horse, though the bright red spot can be alarming for the owner. Fly protection can reduce the incidence.
Horse E - Small corneal puncture 9 months ago with loss of ocular pressure. Conjunctival flap surgery closed the hole allowing ocular pressure to normalize. Cornea was completely opaque until 2 weeks before this picture. Eye has no pain and she is visual. Daily care by this owner made this operation work.
