Moon blindness, also known as recurrent uveitis, is an eye condition that affects horses. It is characterized by inflammation of the uvea, which is the middle layer of the eye that contains the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. Symptoms of moon blindness may include redness, tearing, squinting, sensitivity to light, and cloudiness of the eye. The exact cause of moon blindness is not fully understood, but it is believed to be associated with a combination of genetic predisposition, infections, and autoimmune factors. Treatment typically involves anti-inflammatory medications and management of the underlying cause.
