Equine eyes under scrutiny: Is this normal? A practical guide for first opinion vets

Ever received a photo of a horse’s eye with the question: “Should I be worried?” You’re not alone. This course is built around the most common (and confusing) ophthalmic findings seen in equine practice. Using real-life images and case scenarios, we’ll review what’s normal, what’s not, and how to tell the difference. You’ll get practical tips for ophthalmic exams in the field, guidance on interpreting subtle signs, and help deciding which cases need further investigation. We’ll also explore which conditions affect vision, and how likely they are to progress. All of this should help to explain findings to clients with clarity and confidence. By the end, you’ll hopefully walk away with a sharper diagnostic eye, a stronger clinical toolkit, and more confidence when faced with the dreaded “Can you just take a quick look at this eye?.
