Cyst in eye

[Natalie_H]

Hi All,
Noticed today whilst looking at my horse's eyes a small, round brown sphere at the edge of the pupil. I have done a search on the internet & can't find much info - except for the archive on here. It basically says that occasionally small brown cysts develop in the eye, and cause vision problems if they cover the pupil (which this one doesn't). Other than that, I can't find anything on prognosis / treatments / effects.

If anyone has any experience to share, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!!!

A lot of horses have these funny things that look weird and sort of hang across the pupil.... they are called corpora nigra .... and are harmless.... do a google and see if it looks the same good luck
