Aqueous shunts as a Treatment for Glaucoma in Horses
- Description: A study to determine if equine eyes affected with glaucoma that have not responded to standard therapy (topical medications and/or laser therapy) or that have become blind because of glaucoma can be controlled by placing an aqueous shunt.
- Eligibility: Horses must currently have glaucoma that has not been controlled with standard therapy or in which the eye is already blind because of glaucoma and removal of the eye is recommended (enucleation).
- Financial Incentives: The aqueous shunt will be placed at no cost to you. Recheck examinations are required.
