This is the most common ocular disease in cattle in the UK. There are several theories on the cause. One eye is normally affected, with approximately 10% of affected cattle having some signs in the other eye. Initially there is excess lacrymation followed by corneal damage. The condition is spread by flies. Many animals will self-cure. There are various accepted treatments:

• long-acting antibiotic eye ointments

• sub-conjunctival injections of antibiotics

• parenteral injections of long-acting antibiotics
