Noninvasive diode laser-an effective and safe treatment of iris cysts in 46 eyes of 35 horses.

Background: Iris cysts in horses are often asymptomatic and noticed incidentally. However, cysts can cause local corneal oedema and erratic behaviour like shying, decreased performance and head-shaking.

Objectives: To describe the use of diode laser as a noninvasive treatment option for iris cysts in the horse and to document factors influencing its efficacy, associated complications, long-term outcome and rate of recurrence.

Clinical, ultrasonographic, and histopathologic findings in seven horses with Descemet's membrane detachment: A case series.

Objective: To describe ultrasonography as a diagnostic method of in vivo Descemet's membrane detachment (DMD) in horses.

Animals Studied: Seven horses (three Icelandic horses, two Dutch Warmblood horses, one Appaloosa, and one Welsh Pony), presenting with moderate-to-severe focal or diffuse corneal edema, in whom DMD was suspected on ultrasonographic examination and confirmed with histopathology, were studied.

Procedure: A retrospective analysis of case records of horses with suspected DMD was performed.

A retrospective analysis of the risk factors for surgical site infections and long-term follow-up after transpalpebral enucleation in horses.

Background: Implants are often used to improve the cosmetic appearance of horses after enucleation of the eye. When surgical site infection (SSI) occurs, the implant will almost always be lost. The aim of this study is to collect data on the risk factors for SSIs and report long-term follow-up (cosmetic results and return to work) after transpalpebral enucleations.
