I believe what you are asking is what is laminitis- if so it is a condition that damages the bonds between the dermal and epidermal laminae in a horse's hooves, or the things that hold the hoof on. Severe cases of laminitus are known as founder, which is BAD. Laminitis can be divided into three categories, cronic laminitis, usually the result of poor trimming and diet, acute laminitis which comes on very suddenly, usually the result of severe collic or a large dose of sugary food (can also be produced by contact with any part of a black walnut tree) and finally, 'road founder', which is the result of physical trauma.
Founder is NOT a loss of sight. It is damage to the laminae between a horses hoof wall and the rest of the hoof structure caused by inflammation in the horses foot. It is also called laminitis.

Cattle (and horses) become quite lame (or rather, cannot stand normally on their four feet and tend to limp when they walk), and get inflammation, and pain in their afflicted hooves. Founder is a layman's term for Laminitis. Laminitis or founder is essentially the separation of the laminae from the hoof wall causing severe pain in the animal.

If his feet are not in a good healthy form with the coffin bone parrellel to the ground, he may develop founder/laminitis.
laminitis, affecting the lamina, which connects the hoof bone to the leg bone and cushions the impact of the leg against the hoof. Laminitis causes the lamina to malfunction, meaning that the hoof bone separates and rotates, while the leg bone pushes hard into it, causing extreme pain. Laminitis can be caused by a horse eating too much grass, being overweight, or putting to much weight on one leg due to an injury.
