Equine Cataracts

Discover the latest insights into Equine Cataracts in this scientifically grounded presentation by Prof. Dr. Mike Chan, designed for veterinarians, equine ophthalmologists, and horse owners. Cataracts, characterised by clouding of the eye lens, can cause partial or complete vision loss and occur due to congenital defects, trauma, aging, or conditions such as equine recurrent uveitis. Signs may include visible lens opacities, vision hesitation in low light, or behavioural changes. Diagnosis involves ophthalmic examination with pupil dilation to assess location, extent, and impact on vision. Management integrates surgical options in severe cases with regenerative and supportive care, including PSC, FOP, FOC and advanced TopPetPro innovations like MITO Peptide Organotherapy, NANO Peptide Organotherapy, etc., to promote ocular tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and support long-term eye health.
