[en] The glaucomas are diseases that lead to the destruction of
retinal ganglion cells and their axons via a number of
mechanisms such as direct pressure damage, hypoxic
and toxic injuries. The aim of this article is to present a
review of this condition in horses in order to have a
proactive attitude and to enable an early diagnosis to be
made in order to determine the most adequate
prophylactic (on predisposed individuals) and therapeutic
treatment.
