During a post-squamous cell check up by the eye vet (back in April), the vet mentioned a cyst on my oldster gelding's "other" eye. In sunlight you can see it, pretty large, kind of oozing from the iris (?), but within the orbit. Vet said if/when the cyst seems to be affecting my gelding's vision or quality of life he can laser it off/out/away, no problem.We have an appointment next week to have the laser procedure. My oldster has become headshy and often doesn't seem to notice me (until he's thoroughly surprised) on that side of his head. He also has the beginnings of a cataract--can't remember which eye... So, yes, time for the laser procedure while he can still make the 2-hr-each-way trip to the equine clinic. The vet sounded as if it is no big deal at all, but I wonder about his quality of vision once the cyst is gone.
Anyone had a similar procedure performed on their horse? Just getting some info to go on, if possible. Thanks!
