You know, you mentioned glaucoma briefly, and I wanted to zero in on that a little bit more because it's almost always secondary to uveitis, correct? And can you talk to us a little bit about glaucoma and horses in particular? Sure.
25:46
Yeah, so glaucoma, some people are familiar with the term and some people aren't.
25:52
But essentially what it means is that the pressure inside the eye is increasing to an abnormal range and that's damaging the structures that are responsible for vision.
26:06
It's inside a normal eye.
26:11
I mentioned that there's fluid in the front part of the eye called the aqueous humor.
26:15
And that is continuously produced by a structure called the ciliary body.
26:21
With that fluid, it's like having the tap on all the time, just continuously leaking into the eye.
