hello,

Star has been diagnosed with plugged nasolacrimal (tear) ducts. They cause
him to have a bald face if the dust and flies are bad and I don't keep his
face clean, but have no effect on his eyesight whatsoever. He doesn't
stumble or squint or show any problems. I do make sure he has a fly fringe
on when he goes out because the extra moisture attracts bugs, but beyond
that, I can't say that blocked ducts have been a problem for him.
Certainly not stumbling.

ps - my farrier thinks the 4-point trim is a bunch of hooey. Why would you
expect the hoof to support weight on only 4 points? Use the entire wall
and spread out the weight.
