Large Animal Ophthalmology

This course is designed to provide a solid base of knowledge to enable a student to be an active participant in the diagnostic and treatment plans for the common ocular disease seen in large animal medicine. It is intended for both students with a special interest in ophthalmology and any student that expects to see ophthalmology cases as a practitioner. Lectures will discuss the general ophthalmology examination, adnexa, ulcerative and nonulcerative corneal disease, equine recurrent uveitis, food animal ophthalmology, and case studies. The final week each student will present on an ophthalmology topic of their choice. Hands-on laboratories will be performed to help gain confidence at performing an ophthalmology examination, adnexal procedures and enucleations, and gross and microscopic ocular pathology. 2 Credit Hours
