Equine Recurring Uveitis

[Slick Fork]

Hi there,

Any horse owners here ever dealt with this before? One of mine was diagnosed with this last week and I'm trying to decide what to do. One eye is 100% gone and the other is less than 50 now. I know that you can only stall it's progress, but my vet is recommending an implant that goes into his remaining eye and is sort of a slow release medication that's supposed to buy him another couple of years. Has anyone seen or experienced first hand any results from this?

I'm trying to decide whether or not the risk and pain of the surgery is worth it, or if I should just say goodbye to my friend sooner.

Any insight anyone could provide would be tremendously appreciated

Thank You
