Abstract

Glaucoma is a diverse group of ocular conditions that results in the loss of retinal ganglion cells, degeneration of the optic nerve, and a loss of vision. This is most commonly a disorder of aqueous humor outflow resulting in an elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). It can occur as a congenital, primary, or secondary disorder, and secondary glaucoma is most common in the horse. In this chapter, the anatomy, physiology, etiologies, clinical signs, pathogenesis, and medical and surgical therapy of equine glaucoma are discussed.
