Diagnosis of diseases of the inner eye of horses is problematic, especially in cases where ophthalmoscopic examination is impaired or prevented by cloudiness of the optical apparatus. In addition, examination of retrobulbar affection normally only allows indirect conclusions on localization and extent of alteration. By the use of ultrasound on diseased horse eyes a detailed examination of the inner eye with retrobulbar structures is possible even in these cases. Here, we present several clinical pictures which are difficult or impossible to diagnose by ophthalmoscopical means. For example, sonographic pictures of alterations of the cornea, the anterior chamber of the eye, the lens, and the vitreous body as well as diseases of the retina will be presented. In addition, information about the degree of injury, location of inner structures of the eye, and the extent of possible bleeding can be obtained. Sonographical examination of horse eyes therefore yields important additional information for exact localization, prognosis and therapy of a disease especially in cases where direct ophthalmologic examination is impossible. By means of documented ultrasonic pictures and derived data the clinical picture can be better evaluated and the success of therapy can be followed more closely.
马眼内疾病的诊断存在问题，尤其是在光学仪器浑浊影响或妨碍检眼镜检查的情况下。此外，对球后病变的检查通常只能间接推断病变的定位和范围。即使在这些情况下，通过对患病马眼使用超声，也可以对眼球内部及球后结构进行详细检查。在此，我们展示一些通过检眼镜检查难以诊断或无法诊断的临床病例。例如，将展示角膜、眼前房、晶状体、玻璃体改变以及视网膜疾病的超声图像。此外，还可获取有关损伤程度、眼内结构位置以及可能的出血范围的信息。因此，马眼的超声检查可为疾病的精确定位、预后和治疗提供重要的额外信息，尤其是在无法进行直接眼科检查的情况下。借助记录的超声图像和导出数据，可以更好地评估临床情况，并更密切地跟踪治疗效果。
