Glaucoma is unfortunately a common presentation in dogs, less so in cats. Sadly it is often diagnosed too late for us to be able to preserve vision - or even the eye sometimes. This webinar will aim to address this by alerting participants to the tell tale signs to watch for, including any predisposing factors which might make the patient at a higher risk of developing the condition. We will discuss the types of glaucoma and how to differentiate them, as well as considering the pathogenesis. Both emergency treatment and long term management options will be covered.
After the webinar participants should be much more confident in their diagnosis and ability to spot cases with this devastating ocular problem. As such they will be in a better position to treat their patients.
