Ophthalmology in general practice with David Maggs B.V.Sc. Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Ophthalmology Associate Professor of Ophthalmology Univ. of California - Davis Alison Clode D.V.M. Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Ophthalmology Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology North Carolina State University
This course will update you on the recent diagnostic and therapeutic breakthroughs for the most common canine and feline ophthalmic problems using a combination of didactic and case-based teaching. Both Dr. David Maggs and Dr. Alison Clode work in very busy clinical practices at their universities. This means that there is a very good chance that they have seen it and attempted to treat it! Both speakers are well published and have presented at many of the national meetings and David is also an accomplished international speaker. Both David and Alison have promised me that the seminars have been structured to maximize the clinically relevant material that you will take with you to your practice. The topics:
How can I do a better eye exam? What are the secrets for detecting ophthalmic lesions? The Tonopen - at last measuring IOP is easy What's the best test for feline herpes virus? When should I culture the conjunctiva or cornea? Can I do my own ophthalmic cytology?
What instruments do I need for ophthalmic surgeries? Are there special techniques that will make me a better ophthalmic surgeon? Eyelid tumors - to cut or to freeze, that is the question. Entropion surgery - from Shar Peis to Labradors Which surgical technique is best for "cherry eye"? Conjunctival grafts: Why, when and how? Itchy skin, swollen eyelids, what next? Why is this cornea opaque What does it mean when the cornea turns blue? KCS - not just cyclosporine How deep is that ulcer? Three reasons a corneal ulcer won't heal Can I do a grid keratotomy in my practice? Feline herpesvirus: new treatments for a frustrating disease Why are there blood vessels on this cornea? Is this glaucoma primary or secondary? Drugs for glaucoma - not just Timolol any more. Should I do an intravitreal injection of gentamicin? Is this nuclear sclerosis or cataracts? When should I refer this dog for cataract surgery? What diagnostic testing should I do for this cat with uveitis? Which steroids should I use for uveitis? Should I get an aqueous sample and how do I do it? I wish I was better at the fundic exam - here's how. There's so much variation in fundic appearance - what's normal? How do I detect retinal detachments? I know this dog is blind. I want to know if there is anything that
can be done for him. Anisocoria - pupils that teach Feline hypertension - at last there's a detached retina we can treat! Is this eye trying to tell me that the whole patient is sick? When is it a real emergency? How do I suture eyelid lacerations so that they heal well? Acute congestive glaucoma - which drugs, which routes, how often? This eye is perforated - is there anything I can do? Why did this patient suddenly go
blind?
