A few years ago horses didn’t wear any eye protection, blankets or get any of the treatments they get today. It’s safe to say that technology has helped us treat our horses better and give them everything they deserve. Nowadays, you can also buy some new goggles who protect horses from light sensitivity and ache, eye injury from dust, dirt, and wind while riding.
All these kinds of protection can assist your horse in living a healthier, longer and courageous life. One of the horses who wear these goggles is also Loreli, a 13-year-old gelding, who looks like he is about to go skiing, but in fact, he wears them to protect his eyes from UV light.
Loreli suffers from chronic uveitis, so the eQuick eVysor Equine Goggles offer him 360-degree coverage to help protect his eye from being more harmed by ultraviolet light. The goggles don’t block his range of vision and also come with a pair of broad straps that go behind the ears and under the jaw.
His owner decided to buy the goggles after a veterinarian recommended them to her. She began using them at the beginning of 2020 and was initially worried they would change his eyesight, but fortunately, they haven’t. “Loreli wears them just as a preventative,” stated his trainer. “The eye has been moderately hard to keep under control, so I would say with this, it surely helps the control of the visual pressure and the inflammation.” Besides that, Loreli looks very fashionable!
