Equine glaucoma.
Glaucoma is a diverse group of vision-impairing disorders that have as a common bond an elevation of intraocular pressure(IOP) to a level incompatible with the health of the eye. Glaucoma can be congenital, primary, or secondary. Congenital equine glaucoma is associated with developmental abnormalities of the iridocorneal angle or, in many cases, with the more severe anterior segment dysgenesis.
