Abstract
With advances in ocular therapeutics and techniques, equine corneal disease that traditionally required surgery can now increasingly be managed “medically”. Instead of using broad and non-efficient treatments, such as eye drops or topical ointments, newer therapies and techniques are being developed to deliver the desired amount of drug precisely to the location of the disease. Specifically, intrastromal injections of antifungals for treatment of deep stromal abscesses, photodynamic therapy for treatment of immune-mediated keratitis (IMMK), riboflavin photo-crosslinking for melting ulcers, mesenchymal autologous stem-cell therapy for treatment of stromal ulcers and IMMK, and immunomodulatory gene-addition gene therapy for IMMK.
