Ophthalmology is a common blind spot. For many GPs, it’s not something that gets revisited in a structured way once the day-to-day pace and pressure of small animal practice kicks in. Over time confidence can fade, skills can become clunky and knowledge might not have the chance to be refreshed and upgraded. For cats and rabbits, where exposure is often more limited, these weaker spots can be exacerbated.

You’ll cover:

• Anatomy and physiology directly relevant to your clinical cases, and how these affect medication selection
• Clinical exam of the eye: hands-off, hands-on, direct ophthalmology and ocular reflexes and responses
• In-house tests that help you out: cytology, STT, fluoro staining, tonometry, Jones test and tear film breakup
• Review the minimum data gathering expedition GPs should complete before referral
• Topical medications: what to use, when to use it, and why
• Case-based run-through of common canine ocular pathology including indolent ulcers, melting ulcers, keratoconjunctivitis sicca and glaucoma
• Feline scenarios including conjunctivitis, corneal sequestrum, uveitis and (because cats are different!) glaucoma
• Rabbit eye cases: dacryocystitis, encephalitozoon cuniculi, ulcers and a little more glaucoma, because guess what? The pathology here is unique too

Each weekly module consists of 45 minutes of content delivery, followed by a solid 30 minutes dedicated to discussing cases put forward by participants. This CPD promises to be more than just a ticked box.
