Especially in equine ophthalmology,
we rely on basic knowledge and experience because there is not enough long-term data available. We now have all the prerequisites to collect, pool and analyze data. Specialization and the use of new technologies are helpful in this. In this way, we are working on making our contribution to progress in equine eye medicine.
