BVA Guidelines

The BVA Guidelines are a set of standardized rules used by veterinary professionals to assess the severity of eye injuries in animals, particularly horses. They help veterinarians document and communicate the extent of an injury consistently, guiding treatment decisions and prognosis. The guidelines categorize injuries based on factors like location, depth, and tissue involvement, and assign scores to reflect seriousness. This systematic approach ensures clear, objective evaluation, facilitating proper care and communication among specialists, owners, and insurers.
