Plain-English summary
In this study, six horses in the United Kingdom were diagnosed with keratomycosis, which is a fungal infection of the eye. The researchers identified three different ways the disease showed up in these horses. They also detailed how the horses were tested and how they responded to treatment. The findings provide useful information for understanding and managing this condition in horses.
