Abstract

A comprehensive ophthalmic examination is essential for identifying factors that may contribute to the development of a corneal ulcer. The report by Dixon et al. (Equine Veterinary Education, 2025) in the current issue features a case series where a conjunctival foreign body was identified as the cause of corneal ulceration. The specific clinical presentation of a primary, superficial, nonhealing corneal ulcer with nonadherent epithelium is also discussed, along with management options. This commentary highlights the importance of distinguishing between nonhealing corneal ulcers caused by underlying factors and those that are primary.

马的不愈合性角膜溃疡：临床澄清和管理考虑

全面的眼科检查对于确定可能导致角膜溃疡发展的因素是必不可少的。Dixon等人的报告（马兽医教育，2025）在本期杂志上刊登了一系列病例，其中结膜异物被确定为角膜溃疡的原因。原发性、浅表性、不愈合性角膜溃疡伴非粘附上皮的具体临床表现也被讨论，以及管理选择。这篇评论强调了区分由潜在因素引起的不愈合性角膜溃疡和原发性角膜溃疡的重要性。

期刊介绍： Equine Veterinary Education (EVE) is the official journal of post-graduate education of both the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) and the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP). Equine Veterinary Education is a monthly, peer-reviewed, subscription-based journal, integrating clinical research papers, review articles and case reports from international sources, covering all aspects of medicine and surgery relating to equids. These papers facilitate the dissemination and implementation of new ideas and techniques relating to clinical veterinary practice, with the ultimate aim of promoting best practice. New developments are placed in perspective, encompassing new concepts and peer commentary. The target audience is veterinarians primarily engaged in the practise of equine medicine and surgery. The educational value of a submitted article is one of the most important criteria that are assessed when deciding whether to accept it for publication. Articles do not necessarily need to contain original or novel information but we welcome submission of this material. The educational value of an article may relate to articles published with it (e.g. a Case Report may not have direct educational value but an associated Clinical Commentary or Review Article published alongside it will enhance the educational value).
