A user-friendly reference to basic, foundational information on
veterinary ophthalmology
This book provides readers with a user-friendly manual to the basics of
veterinary ophthalmology. It puts a focus on the most relevant
information for clinical practice. Emphasizing canine ophthalmology, the
book also covers the foundations of feline, equine, farm animal, and
exotic animal ophthalmology. To aid in reader comprehension and
information assimilation, a companion website presents review questions
and the figures from the book in PowerPoint. Sample topics covered
within the work include:
- Ophthalmic foundations: ophthalmic development and structure,
physiology of the eye and vision, and ocular pharmacology and
therapeutics
- Canine ophthalmology: canine orbit (disease and surgery), canine
eyelids (disease and surgery), canine lacrimal apparatus (tear
secretion and drainage), canine cornea (diseases and surgery) and
canine glaucoma
- Other species: feline ophthalmology, equine ophthalmology, and food
and fiber animal ophthalmology
- Ophthalmic and systemic diseases: comparative neuro-ophthalmology and
systemic disease and the eye
Essentials of Veterinary Ophthalmology is a useful guide for
veterinary students and practitioners looking to build out their core
foundations of knowledge within their specific programs of study and
disciplines.
