Tear Film Osmolarity in Horses With Bacterial Conjunctivitis
This study evaluated tear film osmolarity in horses with bacterial conjunctivitis. Although osmolarity values were higher in affected horses compared to healthy ones, the difference was not statistically significant. These findings highlight the need for further research before tear osmolarity can be considered a reliable diagnostic marker in equine ...
