Ensuring your Recovery Vizor is properly sized to your horse is essential to receiving the maximum benefits of its superior design elements.

Each order includes detailed instructions, tips and helpful reminders to properly size and fit the Recovery Vizor to your horse. Should you have any questions, we are always here to help!

Cleaning and Maintenance
- Wash with mild liquid soap, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do NOT soak it in a solution or the clear Vizor will absorb the color turning it cloudy.
- The Recovery Vizor will inevitably scratch over time. How much really depends on the activity level of your horse and their environment. It is better the Vizor takes the bump & scratches then your horse’s eyes!
- Cold Weather: Temperatures below 32°F freezing may result in cracking of the Vizor. The material will stiffen in colder weather when not on your horse. Simply use a hair dryer or safely leave in the front of a heater for a couple of minutes to soften and reshape prior to putting on your horse.
- Replacement Quick-Release Clips can be purchased on our website.

This is the 14 Arab mare that I purchased the cob sized recovery visor for. She did fit into the full sized one, but I wanted one that she would wear outside everyday. She is her own worst enemy, because she loves rolling in the sand and getting dirt in her eyes. She lost her right eye 4 years ago from a stromyl abscess, grinding her head in the sand. This mask has reduced the chances that she will do the same to the other eye. Thank you for such an innovative product!!!

Sarah H.

This recovery vizor has been a life saver! The additional padding is a must, especially for long term use. I almost wish that there was padding sewn in on all the straps, but overall, it is a great product, and the only thing that has kept my horse from rubbing her eyes during recovery

Mary S.

Buttons has ERU and has been successfully wearing the Solar Vizor when out in the pasture for the last few months now. His eyesight has definitely been affected though and he is a bit spooky when he's looking through mesh when he's not in his own stall or pasture. As I like to take him on walks and hope to continue driving him, I thought we'd try the Recovery Vizor. So far, he's doing much better with it than a fly mask. The heavy tint is perfect for our Texas sun. Time will tell if he is safe to drive, but I'm very happy that he's more confident with this vizor on our walks.

Ruth Lynn Nickle N.

We ordered a clear recovery mask and a tinted recovery mask. They fit well, my horse had no issue wearing them and we love the eye protection.

Sydney S.

Excellent protection for my horse post surgery. Fit well and didn’t rub even in the heat of summer. This is my second purchase excellent product.

Jenny H.

I actually have the clear visor, I changed my mind and the wonderful people at Protective Pet Solutions were able to change my order before shipping it out. My old gal Turbo had a very slow-to-heal corneal ulcer, and luckily my vet has a few of these visors that she lends to people in these situations. Turbo's ulcer finally healed, but due to her chronic uveitis, we decided to keep her in a visor full-time since she doesn't mind it at all. So I ordered my own and I'm so happy with it! I had no idea this solution existed, I'm very grateful that my vet knew about it. Thank you Protective Pet Solutions!

Darcy S.

Uveitis in a mule. She will keep these on all day.

Jeannie G.

I depend on this visor to protect my mare's eyes for a chronic condition. Quality, shipping time and customer service are always wonderful. I don't know what I'd do without this product.

Stephanje G.

Seems to work! He can see without rubbing his eye!

Jill N.

Great product!

Dianna S.

Fast Shipping! The Visor was recommended by a Veterinarian. It works great for my horse since he has an eye condition. Currently he is having to stay in his stall. Only negative is that the fleece is hard to clean and that he got a few rubs from the straps when we first got it. Definitely worth the money.

Miranda E.

Colten injured his eye and developed a secondary fungal infection. He required surgery at NC state. We are on our recovery process and while the clear one is great his affected eye was photo sensitive in the day time sun. We are in the midst of a hot summer and another layer of the fly mask on top was making him too hot. This is the perfect solution! I am so grateful for the product.

Lindsay P.

I worked with my vet to pick out the best post laser eye surgery mask for my horse and this was the pick. The 90% UV protection and 30% tint against all light was very important. The tint barely changed the colour of things, allowing it to be worn safely at night. The structure did not collapse when rolling. The fuzzy edging makes the mask comfortable to wear and did not leave any rub marks. Lastly, and most importantly, my horse has managed to take off every type of fly mask ever worn, however this recovery visor stayed on every day!

Dale B.

My mare injured her eye, and I wanted added protection for her eyes. I actually was looking for a different product totally and I called a distributor for the other product, and she suggested I contact Protective Pet Solutions and when I got on your website, I saw the Recovery Vizor - Dark UV Tint and I thought how perfect this would be. My mare LOVES it and although her eye is healed, she continues to wear the vizor since she is always getting something in her eyes. I highly recommend the Recovery Vizor and Protective Pet Solutions.

Claudia A.

Love this product for my mare to prevent Uveitis. Staff at Protective Pet Solutions reached out to me about the sizing before shipping - thankfully they did because the full size I originally ordered would have been way too small. Only concern is the visor seems to be rubbing and causing an open wound despite the fleece lined edge.

Lynn C.

This shield is fantastic! My Mare struggles yearly with flare ups and eye ulcers due to keratitis. This shield prevents her from rubbing the eye as well as shielding from debris allowing it to heal. I got the dark tint to protect her eye from the sun. It also comes with a fly mask made to go over the shield. It’s well worth the purchase.

linda l.

I don’t know what I would do without you guys. My horse Keenan had to have his eye removed. That’s the 3rd one I’ve gotten from you. I do however wish a clip came with each one.

Lennor S.

I bought the recovery vizor for a horse that got kicked in the face and has a severe eye socket fracture. Our vet told us he would need eye protection for an extended period of time . It fits great and he enjoys wearing it. Of note I measured incorrectly and placed an order for one that would have been to small. The alert staff noticed my error from my horses description and contacted me to revise my order. Thankyou for that . I am very satisfied. Lennor Skuce

Sara P.

Jack the mule has a a scratch in his eye and this mask is definitely helping the healing process speed up vs. other options. The staff was very helpful with me in regards to sizing for his BIG HEAD! I love that the mask also came with a fly protecting overlay mask. Between his eyes, the flies and his pink skin which requires UV protection, this mask is the trifecta!!

Donna P.

Very nice product. Fits nicely and my horse doesn't even mind to wear it.

Ponpimon K.

This was the third time I ordered these Recovery Vizor. They are the best products to protect your horses from rubbing their eyes and face. They give me the peace of mind knowing that my horse will not be able to rub her eye directly on the stall with these vizors on. I recommended all horse owners to have these in their barn as you may need them right away if your horse injure it's eye. I keep at least 2 of them as I wash each everyday so my horse will always have a clean vizor every morning. The only downside are 1) the plastic gets foggy over the time 2) the net torn off after a month of covering it on the vizor. I will continue to buy more as the old ones become worn out.

Judith S.

This mask is great! My mare Misty had an enucleation of the right eye last week. With this mask on I am able to put her in a paddock, with me there of course, to graze. That has made all the difference in her mental health for the recovery of her eye. I recommend this mask.

Bonnie S.

Our horse had to have an eye removed due to glaucoma. The visor and fly mask worked Beautifully to protect her eye during her recovery.

Gail B.

My 19-year old Quarter Horse was recently very suddenly stricken with a fever of unknown origin and the infection attacked his eyes resulting in severe uveitis. He was rushed to the equine medical center for treatment. Luckily I had previously heard of the Recovery Equivizor from a veterinarian and via a website search. Because horses have big eyes and tend to be accident-prone (Think: If there's trouble to be found, they will find it!) I ordered one to have on hand well before this incident occurred - just in case. I NEVER in a million years would have thought I'd need it for something like this. But, boy, was I EVER so glad I had it as he needed it immediately in order to protect his eyes from further damage. The Recovery Equivizor has been a literal eye-saver and a life-saver for me and my horse. I don't know what I would have done without it. His eye condition may have gotten much worse without the additional protection afforded by the visor. It stays on well and my horse doesn't seem to mind wearing it 24/7 while his eyes heal. I actually ordered a 2nd one recently to serve as a backup. We do not know if the uveitis could recur. The additional fly mask is also very helpful when turned out. I ordered the dark UV tint since his pupils were fully dilated from treatment with atropine. I highly recommend the dark tint with the additional black fly mask in order to help reduce light exposure to sensitive eyes - especially if turned out. Thank you...thank YOU!!!.... Protective Pet Solutions for offering such an amazing piece of equipment to help our equine friends. It may seem a bit pricey, but BOY....it is worth EVERY penny and its weight in gold to help save your horses eyes!!

Beth H.

I searched the internet for a fly mask for my daughter's 4 yr. old warmblood. It came with some literature about the various protective masks for horses. We also have a 26 year old retired dressage horse, Pasco, who as had 7 corneal ulcers in the past. Just a few weeks ago, as fly season hit, he injured his eye again by rubbing his itchy eyes. I ordered the Protective Mask with Fly cover right away. He was a tricky fit but the sizing chart led us to the correct size which fits perfectly. His ulcer healed more quickly than usual since he could not rub. Now he wears his gear every day and I feel confident that his eyes are safe!! Thank you for an excellent product!! Wish I had found it sooner!! I recently posted pictures on Facebook so all my horse friends can know about the best eye protection on the market!!

Gaye K.

Yesterday was the first time wearing the visor. I thought it would be too large but it fits perfectly. My horse has just one eye and poor eyesight in her remaining eye. I’m not sure if she will be able to see very well when I need to put the fly guard on well have to wait and see. Otherwise I really like it and I think she can see with the UV tint. I am glad I purchased it.

Allie F.

The Recovery Vizors in both the clear and Dark tint have been so beneficial for my blue eyed paint. He is prone to Equine Recurrent Uveitis, making it hard for him to be outside while his eyes are dilated. The tinted one saves his eyes from the sun as well as the elements- wind, debris, sand. Would recommend this to everyone!

Amber B.

Purchased for a horse with uveitis. Was hoping to be able to wear it during Canadian winter but now know it will crack in the cold. That is the downside. My horse in the meantime ended up needing an eye removed and it is working fantastically to keep his eye safe while it heals! Far better than a fly mask would!

Angie B.

My gelding got it off the first time, so I bet wrapped the straps so they could not loosen, and also took out the bridge strap and it’s been great! I like that he has extra protection over his eye and it won’t collapse down. When he laid in his stall, I did notice that it shifted on his face since he couldn’t lay his head flat down due to the build of the mask- but other than that, I love it!

Lisa W.

I love this product! My horse has cancer on his eye and this is one thing that I really think will help him recover while he is on chemo. Only suggestion is that we grade if there was mesh over the holes, to make sure nothing would get in there.

Meg R.

photonic triggered headshaking and miserable -this mask was a win win first try. Has stood up well to pasture and rain - really delighted.

Ponpimon K.

Equivizor saves my horse from eye infection and blindness! She wants to rub her right eye during the infection and this product helps protect her eye very well. She does not mind wearing it at all. One comnent is that I wish the plastic cover will be harder so she cannot try to rub her eye at all.

Susan A.

Fits great! Perfect for what we need it for. Thank!

Claire S.

My horse is so happy with this. We were searching for a product he could wear full time after injuring his eye. Blinkers upset him because he couldn’t see. The equivizor is the perfect solution. He’s able to see through it, the eye is protected, and he’s back to work. He loves his sunglasses

Julie A.

Our horse had a severe corneal ulcer last year and we have been using the clear recovery shield for protection, but noticed this spring that he is a bit light sensitive. The tinted visor is perfect.

Cari C.

This is Sally Mae and she has uvitis and needs to wear a mask every day for the rest of her life. She has managed to get out of every mask I put on her but this one. I took the outer fly mask and tucked the straps into the other mask so she can't get that off. I love that she cannot push this into her eyes. This is saving me from another vet bill!

Ashley T.

Purchased this for my horse who just had surgery on her eye. I really do like this product. I have seen her roll and scratch with this on her face and it never moved or collapse. She even got her bandage off her face sooner because the vet even like this. Will for sure purchase this again if needed

Kathrin D.

Hey, I think your product is fantastic. Keeps the wind off my horses eyes, the wind/storm mostly causes flare ups - she has ERU. Also bought a sun visor, haven't tried it yet but design looks great. Fits nicely. Thank you :-)

Byron N.

When Penny sustained a fracture to her eye orbit & corneal ulceration , I was excited to find the protective visor for her. It was easy put on & she has protection for her injured eye. Only downfall is, I wish that it was for colder temperatures. Living in Alberta, we get colder than -17 degrees Celsius. I have to take it off of her when it gets colder. Thank you for a great product. Recommended it to our vet here in Alberta!

Stephanie M.

This mask has been wonderful for our pony who scratched her eye. We had bought a different mask with eye cups which rubbed her raw. This one has been great and no rubs. It's also not as hot as the other ones.

Susan S.

Roisin was a recent rescue that had sustained an eye injury. We noticed that even though the injury was healing she was very uncomfortable and agitated during the daylight. Since we are located in Florida, we could only let her out at night. Our veterinarian that specializes in eye issues diagnosed Roisin with nerve damage in that eye which did not allow the pupil to contract. This dark UV tinted allows Roisin to be outside, even on our sunniest days, with no problems. Now she does not have to be isolated in the darkest section of the barn which is making her into a much happier horse.

Lisa S.

My horse had an ulcer on his eye that he kept making worse by rubbing it. The mask has been helpful in keeping him from being able to do that.

Chelsea W.

So much better and more comfortable for my horse than the competitor’s “eye saver cup” type which he has unfortunately had to wear on several different occasions. So happy I researched a new type and found the vizor as it is amazing!

Kathy L.

wonderful This vizor is amazing and the customer service is even better!

Barbara W.

This mask is protecting Catella’s eyesight Can't say enough good things about this mask. It blocks the both UV rays and light. both of which appear to be triggers for flare ups of my horse who has uveitis. I was using the clear mask originally then covering it with a heavy mask to block light. Catella frequently got fungus infections on her face due to poor air circulation. This mask and fly jacket protect her eye but allow for good circulation. These mask are an invaluable tooling managing my horse’s eye condition.

Desiree P.

Recovery Vizor Top notch customer service. Safest way to protect my horses eyes and recently an injury on his face. Because of the Recovery Vizor my boys wound healed without any issues as it stayed clean and dry and kept my horse from rubbing his head.

susan s.

well constructed So far doing well constructed So far doing the trick preventing my horse from re injuring his eyes

Jennifer W.

I knew the product is I knew the product is really a great design for a horse with a eye problem it is dourable and seems very well constructed and with my super small mini the company was very helpful have had no problems at all with coustomer service they have just been great would recommend this company and the products to anyone

Emily G.

Life changing product This has drastically improved my older warmblood's quality of life. He has Uveits and this has been a true miracle for him! Highly recommend this product!

Elvia G.

The Best Mask to Protect the Eye During Recovery I purchased the tinted Equivizor Recovery mask for my mule to wear after eye surgery. It is the best!! She doesn't mind wearing it and can be turned out in it. I use the fly mask during the day to add UV protection and keep the bugs off. I am so happy that I found it. It has made her recovery time that much better!

Ginger K.

Equivizor Recovery Vizor with fly mask jacket For my 17H Belgian X Thorobred, the XL is a good fit. She has photosensitivity in the Spring and seemed especially bad this year, hanging out in the darkest corner of the run-in shed, not even wanting to leave it for meals. When she did come out her head jerked uncontrollably. After fitting the visor and mask, she was able to stay out in the pasture all day, grazing. She did not, however, lose the head-shaking when taken into the ring for work, even though she had her Vizor and mask on. (They allow me to bridle her without removing them.) It looks like I will have to wait for the head-shaking to subside in a month or 2 to use her, but in the meantime she is much more comfortable and happy when she is wearing the Vizor and mask. Thank you for this great product!

Lu L.

Eye Protection Our quarter horse had an allergic reaction to a sting from unknown source. His rubbing it damaged the conjunctive tissue over one eye, This hard plastic visor protected the eye from his rubbing it and with the mess net and color reduced the brightness also protecting the eye during the healing process,

Kathy L.

Excellent This vizor is being used for a blind horse. She is doing wonderfully with it. This vizor is such a blessing, It protects her eyes so it allows her the freedom to be who she is and explore anywhere she wants to go.

Jenny S.

Coolest Equine Shades I love the Equivizor and have already recommended it to 3 people. Sunny seems to enjoy wearing it but has days where he still tries to slip out of it. A few things I've noticed since we started using the mask. We've never really been able to do trails everything made him jump. With the mask on he is eager to hit the trails. It must truly have improved his vision for him. His Poll and his TMJ are no longer an issue. We have water posts (white) that he wouldn't use. Since the mask he has not stopped playing with it. We caught the uveitis at a very early stage but I still can't believe how much it has compromised his vision. The mask has really helped him. THANK YOU!

Julia

Good solution for a bad problem. These masks are a great product to deal with horses with ERU, a bad problem. The masks are very well constructed and the company has very nice people to deal with. (Gayla)

Pam f.

Miniature donkey eyes protected from scratching itchy allergy eyes Hershey has been wearing fly masks full time for years to help protect him from scratching on his itchy allergy eyes. Your product stays in place even when he tries to rub. Hopefully his barn buddies won't figure out how to undress him.

Sharon S.

Corneal stromal abscess The tinted Vizor covered with the fly mask is perfect for daytime for my mare recovering from a corneal stromal abscess. She has the clear Vizor for nighttime and non-sunny days.

Best protective eye gear in the country This product is the best thing ever invented! It has been a God Send for Mr. Apache that only has one good eye left. To all that have horses with eye issues this product does the trick and completely protects the eyes. I use the fly mask by day and the protective gear at night and I have the eye specialist look at Apache every three months and the vet has all good things to say about this product. You will sleep at night and rest assured knowing you are protecting your best friend in the best way possible! Cheryl Sandri

Amy W.

Great mask, but could use a little improvement! This mask is great! I could think of a few small things to improve it. 1. Putting a throat latch type piece in it. My mare was able to pull it off by rubbing and pulling the pill strap on a fence. If it doesn't stay on, it's not going to work for eye protection. 2. Maybe covering the nyalon straps with soft material so it doesn't rub them raw. I added my own "throat latch" piece, and covered the nyalon with the soft material, so so far, so good. It has made it so she can not rub and cause scratches to her cornea, and create ulcers in her eyes. I'm happy with it. Make sure u take it off every day to clean it, and check your horses eyes!

Tammy H.

I love this visor. My I love this visor. My horse even loves it. I don't have to put a halter or anything on him while I take it off and put it back on. I think he's enjoying the relief from the sun and gnats in his eyes.

Tony D.

Outstanding product!! The Equivizor has performed to a high level! It protected my patients eye while the corneal ulcer healed. I will definitely use them again in the future.

Erica P.

Pays for itself. An eye saver. This product is expensive, but I think it changed my horse's life. I purchased this mask in August 2015 for our horse Hawky, who is mostly if not 100% blind and suffers from uveitis. He wears it 24/7 and very rarely does he ever get the mask off. (Please note that this is NOT a horse who chronically takes off halters and fly masks.) Prior to having this mask Hawky was would have a severely irritated or scratched eye one to several times a month. The mask successfully provides much needed protection from the wind, sun, and from himself scratching his eye or hitting his head. This is evident not only by the fact that his eyes have looked the best that have ever consistently looked in years, but also by the fence paint scuff marks that are left on the mask. Those marks would be on his face if it wasn't for the recovery visor. It has greatly reduced out need to treat his eye eye with stressful, expensive, and time consuming topicals. After 10 months of 24/7 wear, the mask is starting to wear and I will be purchasing another one soon. We put a crusader fly mask with nose over top it in the summer and it works great. The mask does rub the bridge of his nose slightly but that is to be expected if anything is to be worn 24/7. The skin there has toughened and is no longer irritated. This is an invaluable product and I wanted to share my experience.

Nancy W.

A Comfort to both of us My horse, Goldie, has chronic uveitis, which is a long, frustrating and sad tale that is going to end in blindness one way or the other. That aside, I have some comfort from the Equivizor mask, which was recommended by the staff at NC State Veterinary Hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina. He wears it during the day now home at the barn to protect his dilated eye from sunlight and from potential injury due to rubbing, which earlier may have contributed to an ulcer. He doesn't mind it at all and it is easy to slip on and off. The future of his eye is uncertain at this point, but whether it involves surgery or continued meds, I am grateful for the mask.

Janet B.

Thumbs up for Equivizor These are awesome and do the trick. Thumbs up for quality. They should be made more affordable for others to obtain in order to help all our equine friends.

Melodi D.

recovery visor The first night my mare wore it, she managed to get it off. I think I didn't have it tight enough. But since then she has kept it on and seems comfortable in it. I like that she is more protected from sun/snow glare and eye injury. I plan on purchasing a 2nd one just so she will have an extra when I clean this one.
