    You may notice these signs if your horse has equine recurrent uveitis if your horse is squinting or holding the affected eye shut in response to pain and sensitivity to light. There may also be excessive tearing, and a closer look at the eye may reveal a bluish or cloudy appearance to the cornea, the white portion of the eye may look bloodshot, and the pupil may be smaller than normal. The damage to the eye is progressive, even with prompt and aggressive treatment. Scarring can develop within the eye, cataracts, glaucoma, chronic pain, and some will ultimately become blind. Unfortunately there is no cure for equine recurrent uveitis. Therefore, the recommended treatment for active episodes of uveitis is aimed at decreasing the inflammation within the eye, controlling the horse's pain, minimizing the damage to the structures of the eye, and delaying the onset of blindness. Each horse and situation is unique, but treatment includes a combination of topical and systemic anti-inflammatories, steroids, and immunosuppressive…

    Early treatment is essential as this greatly improves the chances of reversing the rejection process. Preservative-free topical steroids (dexamethasone phosphate 0.1% or prednisolone acetate 1%) given hourly for 24 hours are the mainstay of therapy. The frequency is reduced gradually over several weeks. Steroid ointment can be used at bedtime as the regimen is tapered. Single subconjunctival betamethasone (2 mg) or triamcinolone acetate (20 mg) injections have shown favorable results in terms of reversal of the rejection when combined with topical steroids (Costa et al., 2009). A single intravenous pulse of methylprednisolone (500 mg) was found to be more beneficial than oral prednisolone (1 mg/kg/day) in reversing rejection in patients who…

    Uveitis is the third leading cause of blindness in USA. According to Ocular Immunology and Uveitis Foundation, Uveitis is an inflammation of the mid layer of the eye, which could affect one of the three areas that make up the uvea. These include the iris, the ciliary body, which is responsible for manufacturing the fluid inside the eye, and the choroid, which is the vascular lining tissue below the retina (C. Stephen Foster, 2012). Moreover, uveitis is classified as anterior uveitis, which affect both the iris and the ciliary body, posterior uveitis, which affect the choroid and the retina, or panuveitis, which affects the entire uveal tract. Furthermore, anterior uveitis may occur in two forms either granulomatous or nongranulomatous. If the anterior uveitis remains untreated, it could progress to a posterior uveitis which may provoke cataracts and glaucoma. Therefore, people must seek medical help in order to prevent further damage to the eyes.…

The carotenoid crocin has protective effect against blue light and white light induced rod and cone death in the dim and primate retinal cell cultures. Saffron extract along with crocetin and crocin increased the blood flow in the retina, induced retinal damage and also as a treatment of asthma. While choroid used to treat ischemic retinopathy and also prevention of age-related macular degeneration.
