Ophthalmological examination for horses

Eye examination for horses – Specialists in diagnosis & therapy

Your horse's eyes are sensitive and crucial for their health and performance. In our specialised practice, we carry out comprehensive eye examinations – often on-site, avoiding stressful trips to the clinic.


🩺 Diagnostics – fast, precise, and gentle

Our examination begins with a clinical assessment, during which we observe behaviour, pupillary light responses and external signs. Building on this, we employ state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques:

  • Ophthalmoscope – examination of the retina and optic nerve head
  • Slit lamp – examination of the cornea, lens, iris, and fundus
  • Fluorescein test – visualising minor corneal injuries
  • Tonometer – Measurement of intraocular pressure, e.g. for glaucoma
  • Ultrasound – Assessment of vitreous and retina
  • Special samples for laboratory – microbiological, mycological or pathological

💊 Treatment options

Depending on the findings of the horse's eye examination, we use specifically:

  • Targeted eye ointments
  • Eye injections
  • Tear duct flushing

All therapies are carried out precisely, under sterile conditions and gently for your horse.


🐴 Common Illnesses

Early examinations help to recognise and treat diseases such as conjunctivitis, corneal defects, immune-mediated keratitis (IMMK), glaucoma or ERU/moon blindness in good time. This helps to maintain your horse's quality of life.


Mobile service – no clinic stress

Thanks to state-of-the-art equipment, many examinations and therapies can be carried out directly on your premises. This saves stress, time, and costs, while we guarantee the highest quality.
