Intravitreal gentamicin injection for equine recurrent uveitis: Game changer or just another option?
Equine recurrent uveitis (ERU) continues to challenge clinicians due to its progressive nature and visual consequences. This focused lecture will explore the use of intravitreal gentamycin injections (IVGI) as a practical, cost-effective treatment option for ERU.
We will cover the relevant facts of the pathogenesis of equine recurrent uveitis, the proposed mechanisms of action for gentamycin, and review clinical outcomes from multiple published studies involving over 300 equine eyes.
Technical considerations, including dosing, injection techniques, and complication risks will be explored, with special attention to differences in treatment response depending on uveitis subtype. This session is ideal for practitioners interested in up-to-date, evidence-informed strategies for managing complex equine eye conditions in general or referral settings.
