It depends on the cause of course, but two readily curable causes of blindness are

cataracts - a simple operation

night blindness - lots and lots of beta-carotene.

More serious Diabetes - curable with insulin but that's a bit expensive for a horse.

How do you define snow blindness in horses?

Moon blindness (snow blindness in horse terms) can be very severe. Look for swelling, redness, cloudiness, squinting, and constricted pupils in the dark. Also, the eye can have a blue or green tint. A tripping horse that is rubbing its eye, shaking its head, and running into things may also have moon blindness. You may think this isn't serious, but it is. After you've confirmed moon blindness, go to the vet immediately.
