Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK), also known as pinkeye, New Forest eye or blight, [1] is a veterinary infection of cattle caused by Moraxella bovis, a Gram-negative, β-haemolytic, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It is spread by direct contact or by flies serving as vectors. It is the most common ocular disease of cattle (mostly
In 2022, a retrospective study conducted on 82 eyes with OOKP using original Strampelli technique, showed an anatomical survival of 94% up to 30 years of follow-up. The same study also reported a visual acuity better than 1.00 logMAR (or 20/200 Snellen) at 10 years in 81% of the eyes, and a visual acuity of 1.21 logMAR (or 20/324 Snellen) at 30 ...
