About this course

The red eye is a common presentation in the small animal practice, but when is a red eye an emergency? Can it wait or does it need urgent referral?

This webinar uses a case-based approach to recognising and managing ophthalmic emergencies. The focus will be on diagnostics and providing different treatment options, particularly immediate stabilisation.

The most common ocular emergencies in small animals encountered problems in general practice will be covered in a most practical approach. Tips will be given when referral is not possible. Topics covered include medical and surgical emergencies.

Why do this course?
Many general practitioners are frightened of eye disease, especially ocular emergencies. However, often irreversible blindness can be avoided with the prompt and correct treatment approach. This webinar will give general practitioners examination tools so they can become more confident and able to provide first line help to manage ocular emergencies.

The webinar will run from 12:30pm London time.
